| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We clarified the relations of psychological factors and hormonal environments to breast cancer risk and survival, based on various data analyses. The analyses of data from the Miyagi Cohort and the patient cohort in Miyagi showed that psychological factors were associated with survival after the diagnosis of breast cancer, especially premenopausal cancer. There was no association between psychological factors and breast cancer risk. The analyses of serum and breast tissue hormone levels among postmenopausal patients indicated that hormonal environments were strongly associated with lifestyle factors. The association of hormone levels with psychological factors was weak. The effects of psychological factors including stress and the change of hormonal environments by stress on survival of postmenopausal breast cancer may be small compared with those of lifestyle factors. In future, further studies targeting premenopausal patients are required to improve the prognosis of breast cancer.
