Endogenous estrogen and tobacco smoke are putative risk factors for breast cancer. The genes CYP1A1 and 1B1 are involved in the metabolism of endogenous estrogen as well as of tobacco specific compounds. In a German population based case-control study of premenopausal breast cancer risk with 394 cas
## Abstract p21^Cip1^ and p27^Kip1^ are cyclinβdependent kinase inhibitors, which can arrest cell proliferation and serve as tumor suppressors. Reduced protein expression of p21^Cip1^ and p27^Kip1^ was frequently observed in a subset of cancers, including breast cancer. In this study, we hypothesiz
