From Bittner to Barr: a viral, diet and hormone breast cancer aetiology hypothesis.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Incidence of breast cancer is increasing around the world and it is still the leading cause of cancer mortality in low- and middle-income countries. We utilized Swedish nationwide registers to study breast cancer incidence and case fatality to disentangle the effect of socioeconomic position (SEP) and immi...
