✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Plasma prolactin levels have been measured in over 4,000 normal women. The relation between hormone levels and age fits a cubic equation. It is suggested that a curve of this nature would generate the observed ageincidence curve for breast cancer, if prolactin were a carcinogen or promoter.

## Abstract The amount of prolactin has been determined in serial blood samples taken over 24 h from 20 pre‐ and 9 post‐menopausal women volunteers. All women had a large increase in prolactin at night (24.00 h‐03.00 h). A much smaller rise in prolactin occurred in the evening (18.00 h‐20.00 h) whi

## Abstract Many reproductive factors are associated with breast cancer risk, potentially through a hormonal pathway. The peptide hormone prolactin is essential in mammary development and lactation and may be a link between risk factors and breast cancer. While higher prolactin levels are associate

## Abstract Plasma prolactin was measured in 2,572 premenopausal, 628 menopausal, and 1,666 peri‐ and postmenopausal women who were apparently healthy. Breast cancer was subsequently diagnosed in 47 of these women at a median time of 5 years after blood collection (pre‐cancer cases). Prolactin leve

## Abstract The prolactin concentration has been determined in plasma from ostensibly healthy women living on the Island of Guernsey. There were 102, 42 and 41 women who had a mother, sister or maternal aunt, respectively, with breast cancer. The remaining 184 women in this study claimed to have no
