Abstract:
What's new? While alcohol consumption is a well‐established risk factor for breast cancer in European populations, associations are less clear for Asian populations. Here, pooled analysis of data for more than 150,000 Japanese women showed that both high frequency alcohol consumption and consumption of large amounts of alcohol are associated with increased breast cancer risk in premenopausal but not postmenopausal women. Associations were evident especially among women who were premenopausal at diagnosis, compared to women who were premenopausal at baseline. Although further study is needed, the findings indicate that among Asian women, alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk have specific associations.
