TL;DR: Treatment with CEE alone for 7.1 years does not increase breast cancer incidence in postmenopausal women with prior hysterectomy, however, treatmentWith CEE increases the frequency of mammography screening requiring short interval follow-up, and initiation of CEE should be based on consideration of the individual woman's potential risks and benefits.

TL;DR: A low-fat dietary pattern may reduce the incidence of ovarian cancer among postmenopausal women through reduction in fat intake and increase consumption of vegetables, fruits, and grains.

TL;DR: The longer-term influence of menopausal HT on breast cancer incidence in the 2 Women's Health Initiative randomized clinical trials was reported to report, with findings that the higher breast cancer risk seen during intervention was followed by a substantial drop in risk in the early postintervention phase, but a higher cancer risk remained during the late postinterventions follow-up.

TL;DR: Alcohol use may be more strongly associated with risk of hormone-sensitive breast cancers than hormone-insensitive subtypes, suggesting distinct etiologic pathways for these two breast cancer subtypes.

TL;DR: Unlike findings for other tumors, shorter telomere lengths were significantly associated with a decreased risk of melanoma in this study, suggesting a unique role of telomeres in melanoma development.
