Menarche, menopause, and breast cancer risk: Individual participant meta-analysis, including 118 964 women with breast cancer from 117 epidemiological studies

TL;DR: The effects of menarche and menopause on breast cancer risk might not be acting merely by lengthening women's total number of reproductive years, and endogenous ovarian hormones are more relevant for oestrogen receptor-positive disease than for ostrogens receptor-negative disease and for lobular than for ductal tumours.
Journal ArticleDOI

Type and timing of menopausal hormone therapy and breast cancer risk: individual participant meta-analysis of the worldwide epidemiological evidence

Nobuyuki Hamajima, +294 more
- 29 Aug 2019 - 
TL;DR: Every MHT type, except vaginal oestrogens, was associated with excess breast cancer risks, which increased steadily with duration of use and were greater for oestrogen-progestagen than oest estrogen-only preparations; among current users, these excess risks were definite even during years 1–4.
Journal ArticleDOI

Admixture and Population Stratification in African Caribbean Populations

TL;DR: Significant substructure was observed in the islands of Jamaica and St. Thomas but not Barbados, indicating that differences in population substructure exist across these three Caribbean islands, and these differences may have significant ramifications for case‐control studies of complex disease in Caribbean populations.
