Epigenetic mechanisms of breast cancer risk exposures

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The breast cancer incidence rate is increasing and risk prediction needs to be improved. Higher lifetime oestrogen exposure is associated with increased risk, however, the mechanisms between oestrogen exposure and breast cancer development are not clear. It was hypothesised that a woman's lifetime oestrogen exposure accumulates DNA methylation changes, detectable in blood, which can be used for risk assessment for...
