What evidence is there that hormones can influence whether a person develops cancer?
What will be an ideal response
Women have an increased risk of breast cancer if they have never had children, have their first pregnancy after the
age of 35, begin menses at an early age, cease menses at a later age, or take hormone replacement therapy after
menopause. Since all these events are related to altered estrogen levels, this is evidence that estrogen may influence
cancer development.
