18. Thyroid hormones and breast cancer-prospective studies on incidence, mortality and prognostic factors
Sammanfattning : Thyroid hormones and breast cancer-prospective studies on incidence, mortality and prognostic factors The aim of this thesis was to investigate in a prospective design, thyroid hormones in relation to breast cancer risk, mortality and prognostic factors. The association between total triiodothyronine (T3) levels and breast cancer risk was studied in 2185 women with146 incident breast cancer cases. LÄS MER
19. Removal of endocrine-disrupting compounds from wastewater using molecular imprinting
