Estrogen Metabolism and Mammographic Density in Postmenopausal Women: A Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Prospective studies have consistently found that postmenopausal breast cancer risk increases with circulating estrogens; however, findings from studies of estrogens and mammographic density (MD), an intermediate marker of breast cancer risk, have been inconsistent. We investigated the cross-sectional associations of urinary estrogens, and their 2-, 4-, and 16-hydroxylated metabolites with MD.
METHODS: Postmenopausal women without …
