Mar 06, 2008 (Thu) | 4:00 PM -5:00 PM
Hoover Pavilion, 211 Quarry Road / Farquhar Room, 4th floor
: Stanford, CA
Although tobacco exposure has not traditionally been thought to be a risk factor for breast cancer, and the epidemiologic evidence on this has been quite mixed, it has been a topic of discussion in the most recent Surgeon General Reports on smoking and health. This talk will summarize recent findings on active and passive smoking from the California Teachers Study, a large prospective study of 133,479 California teachers who have been followed for breast cancer incidence since 1995.
