Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, 307 E 63rd Street, 3rd Floor, New York, NY, USA
Breast Cancer Res Treat 131:571-80. 2012..Our finding of an over five-fold higher risk of CBC in a small subgroup of obese postmenopausal women with an ER-negative first primary breast cancer is based on limited numbers and requires confirmation in a larger study...
Promoter methylation and the detection of breast cancerJennifer Brooks
