Endogenous hormones play a role in many health conditions that impact women. Estrogens increase breast cancer risk through estrogen receptor (ER) mediated pathway activation. Modifiable factors such as 25-hydroxyvitmain D (25(OH)D) may influence endogenous hormone levels, and incidence and survival of diseases such as breast cancer. In Chapter 1, we conducted a prospective, nested case-control study among postmenopausal women using the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS), that included 371 cases with blood samples collected prior to breast cancer diagnosis and 731 matched controls. Estrogen pathway activity (EA) was assessed via a luciferase reporter assay using T47D-Kbluc human breast cancer cells. We assessed the contribution of EA to risk, indepe...
