Levels of maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in pregnant women and subsequent breast cancer risk.
High maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels during pregnancy may be instrumental in reducing the subsequent risk of breast cancer. This hypothesis was tested in a nested case-control study using stored frozen sera accrued between 1959 and 1966 by the University of California at Berkeley Child Health and Development Studies (CHDS) group from a cohort of pregnant women. Cases with histolog...
متن کاملMaternal Serum Alpha-Fetoprotein Screening
Background: The maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein test (MSAFP) was developed to screen for neural tube defects. Little is known about the adoption of the MSAFP test. This study examines the effect of provider specialty and geographic location and patient insurance status on MSAFP test use in Washington State. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of MSAFP use in low-risk obstetric p...
متن کاملSteroid hormone levels during pregnancy and incidence of maternal breast cancer.
Previous studies evaluating pregnancy hormone levels and maternal breast cancer were limited to surrogate indicators of exposure. This study directly evaluates the association between measured serum steroid hormone levels during pregnancy and maternal risk of breast cancer. A nested case-control study was conducted to examine third-trimester serum levels of total unconjugated estradiol, estrone...
متن کاملEffects of alcohol, cigarettes, methamphetamine and marijuana exposure during pregnancy on maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein levels at 20-24 weeks’gestation
Addressing the burden of stillbirths is a worldwide priority.1 As many stillbirths are not associated with known risk factors, including previous obstetric history in primigravidas,2 the value of routine blood tests such as maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP) to identify pregnant women at risk should be explored. Although the main indication for MSAFP analyses in the mid-trimester is the e...
