AbstractBackground and objectivesWomen who breastfeed may experience long-term benefits for their health in addition to the more widely-appreciated effects on the breastfed child. Breastfeeding may induce long-term effects on biopsychosocial systems implicated in brain health. Also, due to diminished breastfeeding in the post-industrial era, it is important to understand the lifespan implications of breastfeeding for… Continue reading Women who #breastfeed exhibit #cognitive benefits after age 50

Effects of #Tamoxifen vs. Toremifene on #fatty liver development and lipid profiles in #breast Cancer
Tamoxifen (TAM) and Toremifene (TOR), two kinds of selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), have equal efficacy in breast cancer patients. However, TAM has been proved to affect serum lipid profiles and cause fatty liver disease. The study aimed to compare the effects of TAM and TOR on fatty liver development and lipid profiles. MethodsThis study… Continue reading Effects of #Tamoxifen vs. Toremifene on #fatty liver development and lipid profiles in #breast Cancer
#Thyroid dysfunction and #breast cancer risk among women in the UK Biobank cohort
This study aimed to evaluate the association between thyroid dysfunction and breast cancer risk. We included 239,436 females of the UK Biobank cohort. Information on thyroid dysfunction, personal and family medical history, medications, reproductive factors, lifestyle, and socioeconomic characteristics was retrieved from baseline self-reported data and hospital inpatient databases. Breast cancer diagnoses were identified through… Continue reading #Thyroid dysfunction and #breast cancer risk among women in the UK Biobank cohort
#Smoking, #Radiation Therapy, and Contralateral #Breast Cancer Risk in Young Women
Evidence is mounting that cigarette smoking contributes to second primary contralateral breast cancer (CBC) risk. Whether radiation therapy (RT) interacts with smoking to modify this risk is unknown. In this multicenter, individually-matched case-control study, we examined the association between RT, smoking, and CBC risk. The study included 1,521 CBC cases and 2,212 controls with unilateral… Continue reading #Smoking, #Radiation Therapy, and Contralateral #Breast Cancer Risk in Young Women
Risk‐adapted starting age of #breast cancer screening in women with a family history of #ovarian or other cancers: A nationwide cohort study
There is a lack of evidence‐based recommendations for the age at which women with a family history of cancers other than breast cancer should start breast cancer screening. METHODS Using Swedish family cancer data sets, the authors conducted a nationwide cohort study including 5,099,172 Swedish women born after 1931 (follow‐up, 1958‐2015). Accounting for calendar time,… Continue reading Risk‐adapted starting age of #breast cancer screening in women with a family history of #ovarian or other cancers: A nationwide cohort study
Association of #PET-based #estradiol-challenge test for #breast cancer progesterone receptors with response to endocrine therapy
Estrogen receptor (ER) testing of breast cancer imperfectly predicts response to endocrine therapy (ET). We hypothesize that a brief estradiol challenge will increase tumor progesterone receptor (PgR) levels only in tumors with functional ER. In this prospective, phase 2, single-center, single-arm trial (NCT02455453), we report the association of response to ET with change in tumor… Continue reading Association of #PET-based #estradiol-challenge test for #breast cancer progesterone receptors with response to endocrine therapy
Incorporating Baseline Breast #Density When Screening Women at Average Risk for #Breast Cancer
..Intervention: No screening; biennial or triennial mammography from age 50 to 75 years; annual mammography from age 50 to 75 years for women with dense breasts at age 50 years and biennial or triennial mammography from age 50 to 75 years for those without dense breasts at age 50 years; and annual mammography at age… Continue reading Incorporating Baseline Breast #Density When Screening Women at Average Risk for #Breast Cancer
Time-restricted #feeding normalizes hyperinsulinemia to inhibit #breast cancer in obese postmenopausal mouse models
Accumulating evidence indicates that obesity with its associated metabolic dysregulation, including hyperinsulinemia and aberrant circadian rhythms, increases the risk for a variety of cancers including postmenopausal breast cancer. Caloric restriction can ameliorate the harmful metabolic effects of obesity and inhibit cancer progression but is difficult to implement and maintain outside of the clinic. In this… Continue reading Time-restricted #feeding normalizes hyperinsulinemia to inhibit #breast cancer in obese postmenopausal mouse models
Individualizing Surveillance #Mammography for Older Patients After Treatment for Early-Stage #Breast Cancer Multidisciplinary Expert Panel and International Society of Geriatric Oncology Consensus Statement
..After a literature review of the risk of ipsilateral and contralateral breast cancer events among breast cancer survivors and the harms and benefits associated with mammography, a multidisciplinary expert panel was convened to develop consensus guidelines on surveillance mammography for breast cancer survivors 75 years or older. Using an iterative consensus-based approach, input from clinician… Continue reading Individualizing Surveillance #Mammography for Older Patients After Treatment for Early-Stage #Breast Cancer Multidisciplinary Expert Panel and International Society of Geriatric Oncology Consensus Statement
