Genetic variation in sex-steroid receptors and synthesizing enzymes and colorectal cancer risk in women

Objectives Several lines of evidence have suggested that female hormones may lower the risk for developing colorectal cancer. However, the mechanisms by which sex hormones affect colorectal cancer development remain unknown. We sought to determine whether the association may be under genetic control...
