Epidemiologic, Pathologic, and Genomic Influences on Breast Cancer Outcomes

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictors of breast cancer outcomes using a multidisciplinary approach. Specifically, we evaluated the epidemiologic And genetic factors affecting survival and contra-lateral breast cancer (CBC) risk among women with different types of breast cancer (based on histology) and how these factors interacted with breast cancer treatment. To accomplish these aims, we evaluated survival and CBC risk among an ongoing cohort of 18,270 breast cancer cases recruited into a series of multi-state ease- control studies of breast cancer conducted from 1988-2001.
