A Harvard Medical School study shows the sex hormone estrogen — thus far thought to be only a fuel for breast cancer growth — can directly cause tumor-driving genomic rearrangements.

“Our work demonstrates that estrogen can directly induce genomic rearrangements that lead to cancer, so its role in breast cancer development is both that of a catalyst and a cause,” said study first author Jake Lee, a former research fellow in the Park lab who is now a medical oncology fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

When I mention to people (even doctors) that the US govt officially declared estrogen a known human carcinogen way back in 2002, I get empty stares or even mockery.
Thanks for posting this, it is nice to see Harvard state this openly, though I doubt it would change medical practice. Estrogenic HRT for women is making a comeback and no amount of evidence will convince the medical industry to abandon its profitable HRT trade.

The federal government today published its biennial Report on Carcinogens, adding steroidal estrogens used in estrogen replacement therapy and oral contraceptives to its official list of "known" human carcinogens. This and 15 other new listings bring the total of substances in the report...
