Alcohol, tobacco and breast cancer - Collaborative reanalysis of individual data from 53 epidemiological studies, including 58 515 women with breast cancer and 95 067 women without the disease

Nobuyuki Hamajima, +219 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, smoking has little or no independent effect on the risk of developing breast cancer; the effect of alcohol on breast cancer needs to be interpreted in the context of its beneficial effects, in moderation, on cardiovascular disease and its harmful effects on cirrhosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancers of the prostate and breast among Japanese and white immigrants in Los Angeles County.

Journal Article

Estrogens as a Cause of Human Cancer: The Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Foundation Award Lecture

TL;DR: This work has hypothesized three specific circumstances in which estrogen plays a role in this model of hormone-induced neoplasia and believes that breast cancer risk is determined primarily by the total cumulative exposure of breast tissue to bioavailable estrogens and the associated cumulative mitotic activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Circulating SAA and CRP may be important prognostic markers for long-term survival in breast cancer patients, independent of race, tumor stage, race, and body mass index.
Journal ArticleDOI
