## Abstract We investigated whether variants in sex steroid hormone metabolism genes modify the effect of hormone therapy (HT) on endometrial cancer risk in postmenopausal nonβHispanic white women. A nested caseβcontrol study was conducted within the California Teachers Study (CTS). We genotyped ht
## Abstract A functional promoter polymorphism in the progesterone receptor (__PR__) gene previously has been associated with an increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer. Whether the relationship between genetic variation in __PR__ and risk of breast cancer is modified by postmenopausal hormo
## Abstract Experimental and epidemiological data support a role for sex steroid hormones in the pathogenesis of endometrial cancer. The associations of preβdiagnostic blood concentrations of estradiol, estrone, testosterone, androstenedione, DHEAS and SHBG with endometrial cancer risk were investi
