Hamilton Ann S, Mack Thomas M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is thought to result from excessive cumulative exposure to ovarian hormones. Different predictors of hereditary and sporadic breast cancer suggest different pathogenic mechanisms. Affected twin pairs may help to illustrate such differences.
