Postmenopausal Sex Hormones and Breast Density Are Each Associated with Breast Cancer Risk

Omschrijving
Sex hormone levels and breast density are independent risk factors for breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Breast density and hormone levels are both well-known predictors of breast cancer, but it is unclear whether hormone levels regulate breast density. Rulla Tamimi, Sc.D., of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and colleagues measured breast density and estrogen and testosterone levels in postmenopausal women who later developed breast cancer and those who did not. They found that sex hormone levels and breast density are strongly and independently associated with breast cancer risk.
