The ability to identify genetic polymorphisms affecting the risk of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer may lead to the more efficient selection of candidates for chemoprevention with endocrine agents." "We focused on identifying common genotypes for ER-positive breast cancer in premenopausal Japanese women.
