What Level of Risk Compensation Would Offset the Preventive Effect of Early Antiretroviral Therapy? Simulations From the TEMPRANO Trial.

abstract：:Recent epidemiologic studies have suggested that genetic polymorphisms in the cytochrome P-450 1A1 gene (CYP1A1) may affect the relation between environmental exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and breast cancer risk. The authors report results from a case-control study evaluating the potential effect of gen...
