Case-control analysis- MHT use and breast cancer risk
Analysis by
• current, past and ever use of MHT
• by duration of use
• type of MHT preparation
The NSW CLEAR Study

Our current work on Hormones
Why study MHT use and its
association to breast cancer?
• Increased risk of breast cancer due to menopausal
hormone therapy -established elsewhere in the world1,2.
• An estimation of the risks specifically in NSW among
Australian women through CLEAR study -contemporary
and local.
• Prior work suggests that much of the drop in breast
cancer incidence rates is due to the concurrent decline in
HRT prescriptions in Australia3.

The NSW CLEAR Study

Systematic review
Sun exposure, vitamin D and cancer risk (De Vries 2013)
• Almost all epidemiological studies suggest that sun exposure
is linked with risk of colorectal, breast, prostate, NHL cancers
• No associations between vitamin D and cancers of the
prostate and NHL.
• Prostate and NHL
“other sunlight potentiated and vitamin D independent pathways
i.e. immune modulation and circadian rhythm and folic
degradation may play a role”.

Sleep and cancer risk

  1. Reproductive history and hormone exposureAge at menarche and menopauseUse of hormonal contraceptives and menopausal hormone therapiesNumber of births and miscarriagesAge at first birth and breastfeedingUse of natural and bioidentical hormones
  2. The role for sun exposure as a risk factor for cancer risk came about since the proposal of the vitamin D hypothesis, some 30 years ago.It was proposed that Vtamin D deficiency can be a risk factor for various internal cancers namely breast and colon cancers. He based his evidence on ecological data showing increasing cancer risk with increasing latitude. Using latitude as a surrogate for UV, and solar UV exposure is the major source of our vitamin D production, he naturally attributed this effect to serum vitamin D levels.
  3. The role of UV-induced immune suppression in skin cancer development is well documented.There is evidence showing induction of lymphoid malignancies, mainly in the spleen and liver, in genetically-modified mice exposed to solar-simulated UV suggesting thatUV-induced immune suppression might increase cancer risk at body sites distant from the site of UV exposure.While the evidence remains weak, there is also a possibility that prostate cancer is caused by an infectious agent, which might promote cancer development in the presence of UV-induced immune suppression, particularly when vitamin D activity is not increasing to counteract the effect of additional UV exposureAnd we therefore proposed Immune suppression as a possible mechanism whereby higher levels of solar UV exposure might increase prostate cancer risk.
