Common germline polymorphisms in COMT, CYP19A1, ESR1, PGR, SULT1E1 and STS and survival after a diagnosis of breast cancer.

29 Nov 2009 Although preliminary evidence suggests that germline variation in genes involved in steroid hormone metabolism may alter breast cancer prognosis, this has not been systematically evaluated. We examined associations between germline polymorphisms in ... Read more...

Physical activity's impact on the association of fat and fiber intake with survival after breast cancer.

20 Oct 2009 This study examined whether, after a breast cancer diagnosis, high intake of animal fat was associated with increased breast cancer mortality and high intake of fiber was associated with decreased breast cancer mortality. Participants were 3,846 US ... Read more...

Gene expression profiling integrated into network modelling reveals heterogeneity in the mechanisms of BRCA1 tumorigenesis.

18 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Gene expression profiling has distinguished sporadic breast tumour classes with genetic and clinical differences. Less is known about the molecular classification of familial breast tumours, which are generally considered to be less ... Read more...
