Breast cancer risk in relation to history of preeclampsia and hyperemesis gravidarum: Prospective analysis in the Generations Study

Abstract: Preeclampsia and hyperemesis gravidarum are pregnancy complications associated with altered sex hormone levels. Previous studies suggest preeclampsia may be associated with a decreased risk of subsequent breast cancer and hyperemesis with an increased risk, but the evidence remains unclear. We used data from the Generations Study, a large prospective study of women in the United Kingdom, to estimate relative risks of breast cancer in relation to a history of preeclampsia and hyperemesis using Cox regression ad… Show more

“…In the Generations Study, the association between preeclampsia and breast cancer risk did not vary among women with and without in utero exposure to preeclampsia. 29 Study strengths include the large sample size and prospective design, which is expected to limit differential recall of gestational hypertensive disorders by breast cancer status. The size and diversity of our cohort enabled us to stratify by demographic, lifestyle, pregnancy, and breast cancer characteristics, although we acknowledge reduced precision in some strata.…”

“…On the other hand, a decrease in the insulin-like growth factor in this complication may also play a role in this hypothesis. A number of studies have confirmed the link between breast cancer and preeclampsia (65)(66)(67).…”
