Body mass index, serum sex hormones, and breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether the relationship of body mass index (BMI) with serum sex hormone concentrations could be explained by the relationship between BMI and estradiol levels.
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

Dietary Factors and Risk of Breast Cancer: Combined Analysis of 12 Case—Control Studies

TL;DR: A combined analysis of the original data to evaluate the consistency of 12 case-control studies of diet and breast cancer shows a consistent, statistically significant, positive association between breast cancer risk and saturated fat intake in postmenopausal women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum C-Peptide, Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF)-I, IGF-Binding Proteins, and Colorectal Cancer Risk in Women

TL;DR: Ch Chronically high levels of circulating insulin and IGFs associated with a Western lifestyle may increase colorectal cancer risk, possibly by decreasing IGFBP-1 and increasing the bioactivity of IGF-I.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Prospective Study of Endogenous Estrogens and Breast Cancer in Postmenopausal Women

TL;DR: Although estrogen levels appeared to fall within the conventional limits of normality in all women under study, those who subsequently developed breast cancer tended to show higher levels of estrone, total estradiol, and free estradiola, and a lower percent of estradio bound to sex hormone-binding globulin than women who remained free of cancer.
