Which of the following statements about breast cancer is true? a. Most women have a mutated form of either the BRCA1 or the BRCA2 gene. b. Post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy can reduce the risk of development of breast cancer. c. The risk of breast cancer declines with advancing age. d. Early onset of menstruation and/or late onset of menopause is a risk factor for the development of breast cancer.
High levels of the female sex hormone estrogen increase the incidence of some forms of cancer. Thus, some early types of contraceptive pills containing high concentrations of estrogen were eventually withdrawn from use because this was found to increase the risk of cancer of the lining of the uterus. Male transsexuals who use estrogen preparations to give themselves a female appearance have an increased risk of breast cancer. High levels of androgens (male sex hormones) increase the risk of some other forms of cancer, such as cancer of the prostate. Can one infer that estrogens and androgens are mutagenic?
