Journal ArticleDOI
Menopausal estrogen and estrogen-progestin replacement therapy and breast cancer risk.
Catherine Schairer,Jay H. Lubin,Rebecca Troisi,Susan R. Sturgeon,Louise A. Brinton,Robert N. Hoover +5 more
TL;DR: It was found that longer durations of recent, but not past, use of HRT increased breast cancer risk, particularly among leaner women and for tumors that were less clinically advanced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Menopausal Estrogen and Estrogen-Progestin Replacement Therapy and Breast Cancer Risk
Catherine Schairer,Jay H. Lubin,Rebecca Troisi,Susan R. Sturgeon,Louise A. Brinton,Robert N. Hoover +5 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that the estrogen-progestin regimen increases breast cancer risk beyond that associated with estrogen alone, and were evident for the majority of invasive tumors with ductal histology and regardless of extent of invasive disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ and invasive vulvar cancer incidence trends (1973 to 1987).
TL;DR: The incidence rate of in situ vulvar cancer nearly doubled between 1973 to 1976 and 1985 to 1987, whereas the rate of invasive squamous cell carcinoma remained relatively stable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of a healthy estrogen user survivor effect
TL;DR: The most likely explanation for these results is that women stop taking estrogens when they develop symptoms of serious illness, and nonexperimental studies are susceptible to overestimating the benefits of menopausal estrogen use, particularly current use, on mortality.
Journal Article
Risk factors and hormone levels in patients with serous and endometrioid uterine carcinomas
Mark E. Sherman,Mark E. Sherman,Susan R. Sturgeon,Louise A. Brinton,Nancy Potischman,Robert J. Kurman,Michael L. Berman,Rodrigue Mortel,Leo B. Twiggs,Rolland J. Barrett,George D. Wilbanks +10 more
TL;DR: Risk factors and sex hormone levels in patients with uterine serous carcinoma seem to differ from those in women with endometrioid carcinoma, suggesting that there may be at least two different pathways of endometrial carcinogenesis.
