Impact of dietary exposure to dioxins and PCBs on breast cancer risk and mortality in EPIC cohort

Dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are known to be highly persistent in the environment and with long-range transport leading to a ubiquitous pollution. This group of persistent organic pollutants is known to be carcinogenic and can exhibit endocrine-disrupting properties. This video introduces preliminary results in EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition) about the association between these contaminants and breast cancer risk and all-cause mortality.
