Systemic Levels of Estrogens and PGE2 Synthesis in Relation to Postmenopausal Breast Cancer Risk

Conclusions: Urinary levels of PGE-M and estrogens were independently associated with future risk of developing breast cancer among these postmenopausal women. Impact: Increased breast cancer risk associated with PGE-M might not be fully explained by the estrogens–breast cancer association alone but also by additional effects related to inflammation.
