Timing of pubertal stages and breast cancer risk: the Breakthrough Generations Study.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2014-02-04)
INTRODUCTION: Breast development and hormonal changes at puberty might affect breast cancer risk, but epidemiological analyses have focussed largely on age at menarche and not at other pubertal stages. METHODS: We investigated ...
Breast Cancer Risk After Recent Childbirth: A Pooled Analysis of 15 Prospective Studies.
(AMER COLL PHYSICIANS, 2018-12-11)
BACKGROUND: Parity is widely recognized as protective for breast cancer, but breast cancer risk may be increased shortly after childbirth. Whether this risk varies with breastfeeding, family history of breast cancer, or ...
Domestic light at night and breast cancer risk: a prospective analysis of 105 000 UK women in the Generations Study.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-02-20)
BACKGROUND: Circadian disruption caused by exposure to light at night (LAN) has been proposed as a risk factor for breast cancer and a reason for secular increases in incidence. Studies to date have largely been ecological ...
Comparative Validation of Breast Cancer Risk Prediction Models and Projections for Future Risk Stratification.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2020-03-01)
BACKGROUND: External validation of risk models is critical for risk-stratified breast cancer prevention. We used the Individualized Coherent Absolute Risk Estimation (iCARE) as a flexible tool for risk model development ...
Family history and risk of breast cancer: an analysis accounting for family structure.
(SPRINGER, 2017-08-01)
PURPOSE: Family history is an important risk factor for breast cancer incidence, but the parameters conventionally used to categorize it are based solely on numbers and/or ages of breast cancer cases in the family and take ...
Mortality and cancer incidence in carriers of constitutional t(11;22)(q23;q11) translocations: A prospective study.
(WILEY, 2019-09-15)
The constitutional t(11;22)(q23;q11) translocation is the only recurrent non-Robertsonian translocation known in humans. Carriers are phenotypically normal and are usually referred for cytogenetic testing because of multiple ...
Association of Body Mass Index and Age With Subsequent Breast Cancer Risk in Premenopausal Women.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2018-11-01)
IMPORTANCE: The association between increasing body mass index (BMI; calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) and risk of breast cancer is unique in cancer epidemiology in that a crossover ...
Mortality and Cancer Incidence in Carriers of Balanced Robertsonian Translocations: A National Cohort Study.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2019-03-01)
A balanced robertsonian translocation (rob) results from fusion of 2 acrocentric chromosomes. Carriers are phenotypically normal and are often diagnosed because of recurrent miscarriages, infertility, or aneuploid offspring. ...
