摘要: Introduction Previous research in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and NHSII observed that, among women diagnosed with benign breast disease (BBD), those predominant type 1/no 3 lobules (a marker of complete involution) versus other lobule types were at lower risk subsequent cancer. Studies animal models suggest that insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) may inhibit involution breast; however, this has not been studied humans.
