Pubertal timing and breast density in young women: a prospective cohort study. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Earlier age at onset of pubertal events and longer intervals between them (tempo) have been associated with increased breast cancer risk. It is unknown whether the timing and tempo of puberty are associated with adult breast density, which ...

Mapping the Human Exposome to Uncover the Causes of Breast Cancer. [PDF]
Breast cancer is an important cause of morbidity and mortality for women, yet a significant proportion of variation in individual risk is unexplained. It is reasonable to infer that unexplained breast cancer risks are caused by a myriad of exposures and ...

Association between Mammographic Breast Density and Lifestyle in Japanese Women [PDF]
A high mammographic breast density is considered to be a risk factor for breast cancer. However, only a small number of studies on the association between breast density and lifestyle have been performed.

Mammographic density and breast cancer risk in breast screening assessment cases and women with a family history of breast cancer. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Mammographic density has been shown to be a strong independent predictor of breast cancer and a causative factor in reducing the sensitivity of mammography.

Mammographic density as a mediator for breast cancer risk: analytic approaches [PDF]
Mammographic breast density has been found to be associated with breast cancer risk. Many of the traditional risk factors for breast cancer are themselves associated with mammographic breast density.

The relationship between oestrogen receptor-alpha phosphorylation and the tumour microenvironment in patients with primary operable ductal breast cancer [PDF]
Aims: Although the role of phosphorylation of oestrogen receptor (ER) at serines 118 (p-S118) and 167 (p-S167) has been studied, the relationship between p-S118, p-S167 and the tumour microenvironment in ER-positive primary operable ductal breast ...

Fast label-free multilayered histology-like imaging of human breast cancer by photoacoustic microscopy [PDF]
The goal of breast-conserving surgery is to completely remove all of the cancer. Currently, no intraoperative tools can microscopically analyze the entire lumpectomy specimen, which results in 20 to 60% of patients undergoing second surgeries to achieve ...

Quantifying tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte subsets : a practical immuno-histochemical method [PDF]
Background: Efficient histological quantification of tumour-infiltrating T and B lymphocyte (TIL) subsets in archival tissues would greatly facilitate investigations of the role of TIL in human cancer biology. We sought to develop such a method. Methods:
