In support of Breast Cancer Welfare Association (BCWA), a local non-governmental organisation (NGO) championing breast cancer awareness, GrabCar is selling limited edition t-shirts designed by homegrown fashion brand Pestle and Mortar this month to raise funds to support BC...
Reactivation of dormant cancer cells can lead to cancer relapse, metastasis, and patient death. Dormancy is a nonproliferative state and is linked to late relapse and death. No targeted therapy is currently available to eliminate dormant cells, highlight
The association between common germline genetic variation and breast cancer-specific mortality has been examined in many candidate gene studies,5,9,14,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36as well as in moderate-sized genome-wide association studies (GWAS).37,38,39,40...
In an attempt to identify common disease susceptibility alleles for breast cancer, we performed a combined analysis of three genome-wide association studie
The association did not differ significantly by ER status. On the gene level, in addition to TGFBR2 and CCND1, IL5 and GM-CSF showed the strongest associations with overall breast cancer risk (p value = 1.0 × 10−3 and 7.0 × 10−3, respectively). Furthermore, STAT3 and IL5 but...
Several dietary factors have been reported to be associated with risk of breast cancer, but to date, unequivocal evidence only exists for alcohol consumption. We sought to systematically assess the association between intake of 92 foods and nutrients and breast cancer risk using a nutrient-wide asso...
Abstract Importance The association of tamoxifen use with the risk of uterine diseases, such as endometrial cancer, in premenopausal women with breast cancer remains controversial. However, many studies have reported an increased risk of uterine disease among postmenopausal tamoxifen users. Objective To ...

We investigated the association of prediagnostic use of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) with breast cancer survival among women with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The study cohort was identified from a Finnish nationwide diabetes database, and consisted of women with T2D, who were diagnosed with breast...
