Journal ArticleDOI
Blood levels of organochlorine residues and risk of breast cancer.
TL;DR: In this population of New York City women, breast cancer was strongly associated with DDE in serum but not with PCBs, suggesting that environmental chemical contamination with organochlorine residues may be an important etiologic factor in breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Medical hypothesis: xenoestrogens as preventable causes of breast cancer.
Devra Lee Davis,H L Bradlow,Mary S. Wolff,Tracey J. Woodruff,David G. Hoel,Hoda Anton-Culver +5 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesize that substances such as xenoestrogens increase the risk of breast cancer by mechanisms which include interaction with breast-cancer susceptibility genes, and reductions in exposure will provide an opportunity for primary prevention of this growing disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal Phenol and Phthalate Exposures and Birth Outcomes
Mary S. Wolff,Stephanie M. Engel,Gertrud S. Berkowitz,Xiaoyun Ye,Manori J. Silva,Chenbo Zhu,James G. Wetmur,Antonia M. Calafat +7 more
TL;DR: The association of 2,5-DCP and BP3 with reduced or increased birth weight could be important in very early or small-size births, and positive associations of urinary metabolites with some outcomes may be attributable partly to unresolved confounding with maternal anthropometric factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breast Cancer and Serum Organochlorines: a Prospective Study Among White, Black, and Asian Women
Nancy Krieger,Mary S. Wolff,Robert A. Hiatt,Marilyn Rivera,Joseph H. Vogelman,Norman Orentreich +5 more
TL;DR: The data do not support the hypothesis that exposure to DDE and PCBs increases risk of breast cancer, and the lack of association between exposure to organochlorines and breast cancer was present regardless of length of follow-up, year of diagnosis, or the case patient's menopausal and estrogen-receptor status.
Journal ArticleDOI
DDT and Breast Cancer in Young Women: New Data on the Significance of Age at Exposure
TL;DR: Exposure to p,p′-DDT early in life may increase breast cancer risk, and many U.S. women heavily exposed to DDT in childhood have not yet reached 50 years of age; the public health significance of DDT exposure in early life may be large.
