Influence of Estrogen Plus Progestin on Breast Cancer and Mammography in Healthy Postmenopausal Women: The Women’s Health Initiative Randomized Trial

TL;DR: Relatively short-term combined estrogen plus progestin use increases incident breast cancers, which are diagnosed at a more advanced stage compared with placebo use, and also substantially increases the percentage of women with abnormal mammograms, a pattern which continued for the study duration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship of Distance From a Radiotherapy Facility and Initial Breast Cancer Treatment

TL;DR: The lower probability of undergoing BCS was statistically significant for women residing 15 miles or more from the nearest hospital with a radiotherapy facility, and any relationship of distance to radiotherapy site and therapy undergone might be more prominent among older women because older women may have more difficulties with transportation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Persistent differences in sociodemographic determinants of breast conserving treatment despite overall increased adoption.

TL;DR: Using BCT increased overall, and among all subgroups of age, county income, county education, population density, and race, and there was no decline in age-related variation in use of BCT over time, however, older women were less likely to undergo BCT including radiotherapy and lymph node dissection, and were more likely to undergoing BCT omitting RT and/or LND.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship between number of breast cancer operations performed and 5-year survival after treatment for early-stage breast cancer.

TL;DR: An association between the volume of breast cancer operations performed in a hospital and 5-year survival rates was observed for both all-cause and breast cancer-specific mortality.
