Breast Cancer Research is presenting our Retrospective Collection on "Breast Cancer Risk Factors."
With this Collection, we aim to gain valuable insights into the multifaceted aspects of breast cancer risk to promote awareness, prevention, and early detection.
Breast Cancer Research is presenting our Retrospective Collection on "Breast Cancer Risk Factors."
Explore a comprehensive collection of risk factors associated with breast cancer, shedding light on genetic predisposition, lifestyle choices, hormonal influences, and environmental factors that may contribute to this complex disease. Gain valuable insights into the multifaceted aspects of breast cancer risk to promote awareness, prevention, and early detection.

Latin American and Hispanic women are less likely to develop breast cancer (BC) than women of European descent. Observational studies have found an inverse relationship between the individual proportion of Nat...
Emerging data indicate that variations in quantitative epithelial and stromal tissue composition and their relative abundance in benign breast biopsies independently impact risk of future invasive breast cance...
Laboratory studies have indicated that a cholesterol metabolite and selective estrogen receptor modulator, 27-hydroxycholesterol (27HC), may be important in breast cancer etiology and explain associations betw...
Genome-wide studies of gene–environment interactions (G×E) may identify variants associated with disease risk in conjunction with lifestyle/environmental exposures. We conducted a genome-wide G×E analysis of ~...
Breast density is strongly associated with breast cancer risk. Fully automated quantitative density assessment methods have recently been developed that could facilitate large-scale studies, although data on a...
We investigated the association of several air pollution measures with postmenopausal breast cancer (BCa) risk.
Microbial dysbiosis has emerged as an important element in the development and progression of various cancers, including breast cancer. However, the microbial composition of the breast from healthy individuals...
Height, body mass index (BMI), and weight gain are associated with breast cancer risk in the general population. It is unclear whether these associations also exist for carriers of pathogenic variants in the BRCA...
Moderate to heavy alcohol consumption is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. The etiologic role of genetic variation in genes involved in ethanol metabolism has not been established, with littl...
Many factors, including reproductive hormones, have been linked to a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer (BC). We reviewed the literature regarding the relationship between ovulatory menstrual cycles (MCs...
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most burdensome cancers worldwide. Despite advancements in diagnostic and treatment modalities, developing countries are still dealing with increasing burdens and existing disp...

Modifiable risk factors (alcohol, smoking, obesity, hormone use, and physical activity) affect a woman’s breast cancer (BC) risk. Whether these factors affect BC risk in women with inherited risk (family histo...
Higher circulating prolactin has been associated with increased breast cancer risk. Prolactin binding to the prolactin receptor (PRLR) can activate the transcription factor STAT5, thus, we examined the associa...
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women with limited treatment options. To identify promising drug targets for breast cancer, we conducted a systematical Mendelian randomization (MR) study to scree...
Guidelines recommend shared decision making (SDM) for mammography screening for women ≥ 75 and not screening women with < 10-year life expectancy. High-quality SDM requires consideration of women’s breast canc...
Breast cancer incidence rates have not declined despite an improvement in risk prediction and the identification of modifiable risk factors, suggesting the need to identify novel risk factors and etiological p...
