High levels of estrogen can put you at a higher risk for other conditions. For example, elevated estrogen levels are a risk factor for breast cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, high levels of estrogen over a long period of time can also cause endometrial cancer.
A new study by Mailman researchers shows that more than one sequence of steps is necessary before estrogen can cause cancer. In addition to a hormone receptor-mediated process, a second process is also required, says the study's lead author, Dr. Hari Bhat, assistant professor of environmental health sciences. Their results suggest that blocking the second pathway could prevent estrogen-induced cancers.
