Journal ArticleDOI

Breast cancer research in Asia: adopt or adapt Western knowledge?

TL;DR: Diagnostic and prognostic study findings, including breast cancer prediction rules, are increasingly shown to be 'setting specific' and must therefore be validated in Asian women before implementing them in clinical care in Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mammographic density and breast cancer risk: the role of the fat surrounding the fibroglandular tissue.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the non-dense tissue, which represents the local breast fat, increases risk, even independent of body mass index (BMI), when studying dense breast tissue in relation to breast cancer risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

The estrogen receptor alpha gene and breast cancer risk (The Netherlands).

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that the Pvu II polymorphism in the ER-α, or another mutation in linkage disequilibrium with PvuII, in combination with high E2 levels increases breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women.
