Occupational exposure to combustion by-products and breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women
Occupational exposure to the 6 selected combustion by-products was not associated with postmenopausal BC. Suggestive higher risks of certain molecular subtypes of BC were observed with exposure to PAHs and cooking fumes. Future larger studies should consider the role of occupational exposures in the aetiology of BC across different molecular subtypes.
