Abstract:Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed female cancer worldwide. Environmental contaminant exposure is suspected to be crucial, but the broad-spectrum communal properties that these suspected contaminants all share remain to be explored, especially in source and drinking water. In this work, we focused on the Pearl River Basin, which has the highest breast cancer incidence and mortality in China, and hypothesized that the breast cancer risk in this area is associated with its water source. Our objective… Show more
