Maternal exposure to diethylstilbestrol during pregnancy and increased breast cancer risk in daughters.

Breast cancer research : BCR - 1 Jan 2014

Hilakivi-Clarke Leena

Abstract excerpt

The idea that susceptibility to breast cancer is determined not only through inherited germline mutations but also by epigenetic changes induced by alterations in hormonal environment during fetal development is gaining increasing support. Using findings obtained in human and animal studies, this review addresses the mechanisms that may explain why daughters of mothers who took synthetic estrogen...
