An association of genes XRCC1 and HMMR with breast cancer (BC) has never been tested in the Kyrgyz ethnic group. This was a case-control study of 201 women of the Kyrgyz ethnic group with a morphologically verified breast cancer (N=99) and 102 controls age-matched with BC cases. The mean age of the patients was 53 years (24–74, SE mean = 0.967, STD=9.81). The extraction of DNA was carried out from venous blood. The genotyping was conducted by using the method of polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. When comparing the results of genotyping, the histological structure of the tumor and the «menopause» factor, Fisher»s exact test was used. Calculation of the odds ratio was carried out by cross tabulation method. A statistically significant link between the XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism and the menopausal status was observed (p=0,018). The Arg / Arg genotype of XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism occurred in 52 % of cases in women at menopausal age, whereas in women before the onset of menopause, the genotype Arg / Arg occurred in 78.8 % of BC cases (p=0.009). The CT genotype of HMMR V353A polymorphism was identified as “protective” factor – OR=0.481, 95 % CI [0.27‑0.85]. There was no statistically significant association between the results of genotyping and histological structure of the tumor, as well as the age of verification of the diagnosis of BC.

Objective The aim of this study was to determine whether a novel polymorphism ( Tru9I) in the low penetrance vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is associated with risk of premenopausal breast cancer (BC). Methods This case-control study included 228 patients with BC and 503 healthy women living in Pakistan who were analyzed for the VDR Tru9I (rs757343) single nucleotide polymorphism. BC cases were histopathologically confirmed, and all healthy controls were age-matched with patients (age range, 20–45 years). DNA was extracted, and the polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism assays were performed. Results The VDR Tru9I polymorphism was not significantly associated with premenopausal BC. However, the risk of BC was associated with the ‘uu’ genotype (odds ratio [OR], 1.141; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.206–6.317). Further, mutant Tru9I was significantly associated with Grade IV carcinoma (OR, 5.36; 95% CI, 1.181–24.338). Conclusion The VDR Tru9I ‘uu’ genotype may increase the risk of premenopausal BC.

Identification of modifiable risk factors for breast cancer is critical for primary prevention of the disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate how certain lifestyle variables modify the chances of developing breast cancer based on menopausal status. A case-control study was performed in a group of 542 women, 197 who were diagnosed with breast cancer and 344 control individuals. The groups were matched by age, body mass index, and menopausal status. Participants were evaluated for level of physical activity, alcohol consumption, smoking habit, weight, height, and waist circumference (WC). A multivariate logistic regression model was used to estimate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Regular consumption of alcoholic beverages (2.91, 95% CI 1.58–5.38 and 1.86, 95% CI 1.15–3.03) and sedentary behavior (2.08; 95% CI 1.12–3.85 and 1.81; 95% CI 1.12–2.94) were associated with breast cancer risk in pre- and postmenopausal women, respectively. High WC (3.31, 95% CI 1.45–7.55) was associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer in premenopausal women. While in postmenopausal women, current smoking (2.43, 95% CI 1.01–5.83) or previous history of smoking (1.90; 95% CI 1.14–3.14) increased the chances of developing breast cancer. Sedentary behavior and current consumption of alcoholic beverages were more likely to increase the risk of developing breast cancer regardless of menopausal status.

There is limited evidence of phenolic compounds acting as protective agents on several cancer types, including breast cancer (BC). Nevertheless, some polyphenol classes have not been investigated and there is a lack of studies assessing the effect on menopausal status and hormone receptor status as influenced by these compounds. The objective of this study is to evaluate the association between the intake of all polyphenol classes in relation to the BC risk by menopausal and hormone receptor status. We used data from a population-based multi-case-control study (MCC-Spain) including 1472 BC cases and 1577 controls from 12 different regions of Spain. The odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CI were calculated using logistic regression of mixed effects by quartiles and log2 of polyphenol intakes (adjusted for the residual method) of overall BC, menopausal and receptor status. No associations were found between total intake of polyphenols and BC risk. However, inverse associations were found between stilbenes and all BC risk (ORQ4 vs. Q1: 0.70, 95%CI: 0.56–0.89, Ptrend = 0.001), the consumption of hydroxybenzaldehydes (ORQ4 vs. Q1: 0.75, 95%CI: 0.59–0.93, Ptrend = 0.012) and hydroxycoumarins (ORQ4 vs. Q1: 0.73, 95%CI: 0.57–0.93; Ptrend = 0.005) were also inversely associated. The intake of stilbenes, hydroxybenzaldehydes and hydroxycoumarins can contribute to BC reduction risk on all menopausal and receptor statuses.

10012 Background: Some prospective studies in US and UK (represented by Women’s Health Initiative and Million Women Study) show that HRT use may increase the risk of breast cancer. However, it is unclear whether or not this perspective is applicable to Japanese women, due to several factors such as the difference in incidence of breast cancer, difference in HRT prevalence, which are to be concerned in this study. To investigate the relationship between HRT use and breast cancer, a case-control study was conducted in Japan. Methods: We sent self-administered questionnaire to 4,500 cases who have a previous history of confirmed histological breast cancer and 4,500 controls who were selected according to the inclusion criteria. All the subjects were between age 45 and 69 at the time of enrollment. Among these subjects, 3,434 in case group and 2,427 in control group sent back their questionnaire (total 5,861). The datacenter was run in Kitasato Univ. and the statistical analysis was performed using SAS (version 9.1). Control was selected by considering the screening record for GI disease and respiratory disorders, with no previous history of breast cancer, gynecological and hormonal disease at the time of screening. We asked about past history of exposure to the factors supposed to be breast cancer-causing; previous or current use of HRT, age at diagnosis, academic background, BMI, lifestyle habits, age of menarche, birth history, history of breast feeding, family history, use of contraceptive agents and menopausal status. Results: As the main analysis result, 164 (5.0%) out of 3,316 cases and 253 (7.4%) out of 2355 controls had used HRT (Odds ratio 0.432 [95% CI 0.352–0.530]. Conclusions: The result of this study shows that HRT users were less likely to develop breast cancer than never users. However, in this study, there was a difference in the observation period for the past use of HRT between cases and controls. Considering the transition of HRT prevalence in Japan, there may be a possibility that this difference can be a cause of a serious bias for the main analysis result. Further sensitivity analyses are needed to evaluate the robustness of the findings and this point is under consideration. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

BACKGROUND: The second leading cause of cancer-related death in women is breast cancer. Xenobiotic Metabolizing Enzymes (XMEs) contribute to the detoxification of numerous cancer therapy-induced products. In the metabolism of xenobiotic, cytochrome P450s or monooxygenases perform an important function by catalysing the hydroxylation reaction. In this study, the susceptibility and genetic polymorphisms of CYP450 isoenzymes was investigated that may have an etiological role in breast cancer. AIM: The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of CYP1A1 (rs4646421), CYP1B1 (rs1056836), CYP2C8 (rs1058930), and CYP19A1 (rs749292) polymorphisms with the risk of breast cancer in Mazandaran province. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This cross-sectional case-control study were recruited 72 patients and 51 healthy individuals and was performed between March 2018 to May 2018 in the Oncology Department at Imam Hospital in Sari city, Iran. Peripheral blood samples were collected in EDTA tube, and DNA extraction was performed using the salting-out method and WizPrep extraction kits. Breast cancer patients with known clinicopathological characters and healthy women as control group were genotyped for genes polymorphisms by PCR-RFLP technique, using restriction enzymes. Chi-square, Fisher exact test and Logistic regression model, were applied for statistical analysis. RESULTS: The results of the experiments showed that there was a significant relationship between two groups and the age of the patients is significantly higher than the control group (p = 0.044). According to the chi-square and Fisher exact test, education, pregnancy, menopause status and oppose were significant between the two groups. Based on using a logistic regression model in two normalized and age-adjusted models to finding relationship between the genotypes of each gene and breast cancer risk, it was determined that in the CYP2C8 genotype, those who have the CG allele have a 7.74 degree increased risk of breast cancer (CI = 95% 0.95-62.5) and in the CYP19A1 gene, individuals with GA genotype, increased risk of breast cancer (CI = %95 1.52-27.21), about the CYP1B1 gene, people with two genotypes of CG + GG had higher risk of breast cancer (CI = %95 1.19-5.71) and allele G has decreased risk of breast cancer in this gene (P = 0.0271), also allele G in CYP2C8 gene had the protective effect (P = 0.02). In the age-adjusted model, for the CYP2C8 gene, GG genotype increased risk of breast cancer (CI = %95 1.11-75.84) as well as, the CG + GG genotype in CYP1B1 gene (CI = %95 1.31-6.57). CONCLUSION: Our results confirm the association between CYP2C8 (rs1058930), CYP19A1 (rs749292) and CYP1B1 (rs1056836) gene polymorphisms and increased risk of breast cancer in women in Mazandaran province.

Obesity is a worldwide problem that has been steadily increasing even in developing countries. Obesity has been linked to various types of cancer, one of which is breast cancer. Breast cancer has been classified into various types based on gene and hormone receptor expressions, which offered new insights to therapies and prognoses. We conducted a case-control study using 42 breast cancer patients and 43 healthy women, all of which are older than 55 years of age and have experienced menopause, and for case subjects, additional immunohistochemistry profiles have been provided. Data were collected by interviews and medical records. For data analysis, we used Pearson’s Chi-Square test and Fisher’s Exact test. Results showed that high BMI is significantly associated with breast cancer, and risk is elevated (p < 0.05, OR = 1.263, 95% CI = 1.007-1.583). No significant association with molecular subtypes was observed.
