Gene-Environment Interaction and Breast Cancer on Long Island, NY.

Pages : 7
Book Description
This research project will build upon the Long Island breast Cancer Study Project (LIBCSP) a large population-based case-control study of the environment and breast cancer. Participants completed an in-person interviewer-administered interview donated blood and urine samples and had home environment samples (dust, soil and water) collected. For this study 200 cases and 200 controls who donated urine samples will be selected and their urine samples will be analyzed for a panel of EE biomarkers. In addition these same women will be screened for polymorphisms in both the estrogen receptor alpha and beta genes. Breast cancer risk in relation to the combination of these multiple EE exposures and gene-environment interaction will be investigated using sophisticated statistical methods such as hierarchical regression models and factor analysis. Additionally a pilot investigation of the correlation between EE levels in house dust and urinary biomarker levels will be conducted. Currently samples for this study have been selected and the laboratory analyses are underway. Results of the proposed research project will be of enormous public health relevance since they may advance our knowledge of modifiable breast cancer risk factors and newly identified EEs thereby providing information that is essential for primary prevention.

No Family History
Author: Sabrina McCormick
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
ISBN: 0742566285
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
No Family History presents compelling evidence of environmental links to breast cancer, ranging from everyday cosmetics to industrial waste. Sabrina McCormick weaves the story of one survivor with no family history into a powerful exploration of the big business of breast cancer. As drugs, pink products, and corporate sponsorships generate enormous revenue to find a cure, a growing number of experts argue that we should instead increase focus on prevention—reducing environmental exposures that have contributed to the sharp increase of breast cancer rates. But the dollars continue to pour into the search for a cure, and the companies that profit, including some pharmaceutical and cosmetics companies, may in fact contribute to the environmental causes of breast cancer. No Family History shows how profits drive our public focus on the cure rather than prevention, and suggests new ways to reduce breast cancer rates in the future.
