Journal ArticleDOI

Adiposity, hormone replacement therapy use and breast cancer risk by age and hormone receptor status: a large prospective cohort study

TL;DR: An elevated BMI may be positively associated with risk of ER-PR- tumors among postmenopausal women who never used HRT, and a possible role of sex hormones in the etiology of hormone-receptor negative tumors is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical activity and risk of breast cancer overall and by hormone receptor status: the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition.

TL;DR: The results of this largest prospective study on the protective effects of physical activity indicate that moderate and high physical activity are associated with modest decreased breast cancer risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reproductive factors and risk of hormone receptor positive and negative breast cancer: a cohort study

TL;DR: This study provides possible evidence that age at menarche, and time between menarches and first full-term childbirth may be associated with the etiology of both HR-negative and HR-positive malignancies, although the associations with HR- negative breast cancer were only borderline significant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Height, age at menarche and risk of hormone receptor-positive and -negative breast cancer: A cohort study

TL;DR: The stronger associations of the components of height with ER+PR+ tumors among older women suggest possible hormonal links that could be specific for postmenopausal women.
