TL;DR: In conclusion, smoking has little or no independent effect on the risk of developing breast cancer; the effect of alcohol on breast cancer needs to be interpreted in the context of its beneficial effects, in moderation, on cardiovascular disease and its harmful effects on cirrhosis.

TL;DR: Every MHT type, except vaginal oestrogens, was associated with excess breast cancer risks, which increased steadily with duration of use and were greater for oestrogen-progestagen than oest estrogen-only preparations; among current users, these excess risks were definite even during years 1–4.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breast cancer mortality patterns and time trends in 10 new EU member states: mortality declining in young women, but still increasing in the elderly.
Jerzy E. Tyczynski,I Plesko,Tiiu Aareleid,Maja Primic-Zakelj,Miriam Dalmas,Juozas Kurtinaitis,Aivars Stengrevics,D. Maxwell Parkin +7 more
TL;DR: Analysis of mortality data, information from previous publications, as well as analysis of known factors influencing breast cancer risk suggest that changes observed are due mainly to recent advances in treatment rather than changes in lifestyle risk factors or the result of screening programs.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The variation in breast cancer care across Europe prior to the development of European guidelines was striking; older women received BCS+RT much less than younger women; and adherence to 'standard care' varied even among countries with medium/high TNEH, suggesting sub-optimal resource allocation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cancer incidence and mortality patterns in South Eastern Europe in the last decade: Gaps persist compared with the rest of Europe
Ariana Znaor,Corina van den Hurk,Maja Primic-Zakelj,Dominic Agius,Daniela Coza,Anna Demetriou,Nadia Dimitrova,Sultan Eser,Hülya Karakılınç,Snezana Zivkovic,Freddie Bray,Jan W. Coebergh +11 more
TL;DR: The lack of decline in overall cancer mortality in South Eastern Europe indicates suboptimal levels of cancer control in the region, and the North West to South East Europe gradient of increasing incidence and mortality rates of tobacco-related cancers is confirmed.
