Abstract
Slides of 531 breast cancers from Glamorgan, Wales, were classified according to the presence or absence of each of three histologic characteristics: stromal infiltration by linear strands of tumor cells, areas of intraductal carcinoma, and areas of lobular carcinoma in situ. The proportion of tumors with each of these characteristics was positively associated with age at first childβbirth. Increasing age at first birth had a strong positive effect on the incidence risk of tumors with any of these features, but only a small effect on risk of tumors with none. For porous women, the rate of breast cancer with or without linear strands, with or without areas of intraductal cancer, and without areas of lobular carcinoma in situ was lower than for nulliparous women. Parity appeared not to reduce the risk of tumors with areas of lobular carcinoma in situ.

Epidemiological studies of in situ breast cancer are sparse, and the role of reproductive history, an established risk modifier for invasive breast cancer, remains incompletely investigated. To examine possible associations with parity and age at first birth, we undertook a case-control study nested
## Abstract Among different populations, the shape of the ageβincidence curve for breast cancer is strongly related to the overall incidence of breast cancer in the respective population. Data are available from Iceland for the period 1911β1972. These data show that breast cancer has increased very
In previous studies of female cancer risk, we introduced a new method for circumventing the problem of collinearity in age-adjusted analysis of the joint effects of age at birth and time since birth. The basic idea was to estimate the pure age effect considering nulliparous women, assuming that the
In 1988, a case-control study on breast cancer and oral contraceptives with 624 cases and 624 matched controls in the age range 25-54 years was undertaken in Slovenia. This analysis assesses the relationship between parity and breast cancer risk: the relative importance of age at first birth, age at
## Abstract The aim of the present study was to examine parity and age at first childbirth, in relation to the risk of specific breast cancer subgroups. A prospective cohort, The MalmΓΆ Diet and Cancer Study, including 17,035 women were followed with linkage to Swedish Cancer Registry until December
