1 Dietary phytoestrogens are not associated with risk of overall breast cancer but diets rich in coumestrol are inversely associated with risk of estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor negative breast tumors in Swedish women. Coumestrol estrogen receptor 1 Homo sapiens
2 However, intake of coumestrol was associated with decreased risk of receptor negative tumors (ER-PR-) but not positive tumors. Coumestrol estrogen receptor 1 Homo sapiens
3 The risk of ER-PR- tumors was significantly lower (50%) in women with intermediate coumestrol intake compared with those who did not consume any. Coumestrol estrogen receptor 1 Homo sapiens
4 Our results of a decreased risk of ER-PR- tumors in women with intermediate intake of coumestrol could be due to chance because of the low intake. Coumestrol estrogen receptor 1 Homo sapiens
