چکیده
OBJECTIVE An association between breast cancer and intracranial meningioma has been described in women. We sought to determine whether this connection exists in men as well, hypothesizing that causes unrelated to sex may be responsible. METHODS We queried state cancer registries that recorded data on breast cancer and meningioma. International Classification of Diseases for Oncology codes for breast cancer and meningioma were used. The incidence rate of the second primary tumor was compared between identified meningioma and breast cancer cohorts and the general population for each sex. RESULTS Five state registries collected data on men and women from 1995 to 2003. The incidence of meningioma was 2.6 and 0.96 (cases per 100,000) for women and men, respectively, during this period. The incidence of breast cancer was 61 and 0.69 (cases per 100,000) for women and men, respectively, during this period. One man and 439 women were diagnosed with both diseases. The standardized incidence ratio was used to determine the magnitude of association between breast cancer and meningioma. During the study period, the standardized incidence ratio indicated a stronger than expected association between breast cancer and meningioma in women, regardless of which disease was diagnosed first. In every year except one, the standardized incidence ratio indicated no association between breast cancer and meningioma in men, regardless of which disease was diagnosed first. CONCLUSION Our results support a strong association between meningioma and breast cancer in women. Conversely, we were unable to show as strong an association in men. This suggests that the connection between these diseases may be dependent on sex.

Background:Many case-control investigations have showed the correlation of TP53 gene polymorphisms with the risk of breast cancer. However, the findings are not consistent. It has been suggested that the investigation of P53 genotype combinations and haplotypes may be more helpful than the detection of single polymorphisms. In the present study, we investigate...

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Clinicopathological variables are important factors in deciding on breast cancer treatment. This study evaluated the association between the recurrence score generated by the Oncotype DX® 21-gene assay and classic clinicopathological variables. Methods: A single-institution retrospect...
متن کاملStudy of the association FokI polymorphisms of the XRCC3 gene with the risk of breast cancer in women: brief report
Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common worldwide malignancies among women. Biological data suggest that damage induced by endogenous and exogenous factors affects the integrity of DNA and associated with susceptibility to breast cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair genes can associated with differences in the repair efficiency of DNA damage and may affect br...
متن کاملAssociation of CYP1A1 IIe462Val (rs1048943) Polymorphism with Breast Cancer in Iranian Women
Backgrounds and Aims: One member of the cytochrome P450 family, CYP1A1, is one of the genes involved in the metabolism of carcinogens and estrogen, which has been identified to be associated with breast cancer, as well. Considering the known effect of estrogen in different signaling pathways, disorders in these pathways will affect the risk of breast cancer. In this study, we evaluated the rela...
