Researchers in the Metabolic Epidemiology Branch (MEB) have a long history of conducting studies of breast cancer. Selected breast cancer studies include:

It also includes a nested case-cohort study of circulating sex steroid hormones and the risk of breast, endometrial, ovarian, and colorectal cancers.
