We conclude with a brief synopsis and reflection on the state of the evidence, including methodological limitations and promises, as well as directives for future research needs. We then examine the literature on exposures to environmental toxicants and risk for developing breast cancer, dividing the evidence discussion into seven major sections: (1) Hormones: Pharmaceutical agents & personal care products (2) Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) (3) Hormones in food: Natural and additives (4) Non-EDC industrial chemicals (5) Tobacco smoking: Active and passive (6) Shift work, light-at-night and melatonin and (7) Radiation. After describing our methodology for selecting scientific reports and reporting of statistical findings, we present introductory sections on breast cancer statistics and subtypes as well as critical concepts for framing the complex data we are exploring. In the 8 years since we last published a comprehensive review of the relevant literature, hundreds of new papers have been published supporting this link, and the evidence on this topic is more extensive and of better quality than that previously available.
This report focuses on these environmental issues. Although rates have leveled off overall in the past few years for some subsets of women, there was a significant and progressive rise in the incidence of breast cancer in the decades following World War II, the same decades that saw exponential increases in the use of chemicals for production of pesticides, herbicides, plastics, cosmetics and other commonly used materials and products. A substantial body of scientific evidence indicates that exposures to common chemicals and radiation, singly and in combination, also contribute to the increasingly high incidence of breast cancer observed over the past several decades. Yet we begin with an understanding that in total, these factors do not address a considerable portion of the risk for the disease. We acknowledge the importance of many widely understood risk factors for breast cancer including: primary genetic mutations, reproductive history, and lifestyle factors such as weight gain, alcohol consumption and lack of physical exercise. Come and enjoy this peaceful neighborhood with private lakes, tennis courts, basketball courts, volleyball courts, children's playgrounds, and a picnic pavilion.In this review, we examine the continually expanding and increasingly compelling data linking radiation and various chemicals in our environment to the current high incidence of breast cancer. 2 private outdoor patios completed in June 2020.
