New Support of Explanation of Breast Cancer
Copyright 2003, James Michael Howard, Fayetteville, Arkansas, U.S.A.
Two articles add support to my hypothesis regarding testosterone in women and
breast cancer. (Find "An Explanation of Cancer and the Increase in Cancer,"
about the middle of www.anthropogeny.com/physiology.html .) That is, I suggest
increased testosterone is involved in triggering cancer, including female breast
cancer. In the first article from the January, 2004, Journal of the National
Cancer Institute, U.S.A., you will read the finding that "active smoking may
play a role in breast cancer etiology." The second article demonstrates that
smoking in women is connected with increased testosterone. "Current smokers had
the highest testosterone concentrations with decreasing values in former and
nonsmokers (p = 0.0001)." Again, I suggest this adds support to my explanation
of the mechanism of cancer and I invite you read my article.

Is an increase in testosterone as a result of smoking generally
accepted to be true, or is this just one study? Is it just females, or
males also. Presumably any increased testosterone in females would
imply a decrease in oestrogen? Is there any corresponding research on
benign breast problems?
Thank you.

Thank you for your response, Warren. Interestingly, smoking causing increased
testosterone or increased testosterone causing smoking both work as support of
my hypothesis that increased testosterone is involved in female breast cancer.
When I arrived at my application of my work about cancer, I started with the
idea that increased testosterone should be involved in triggering cancer. I
then discovered that this is the case in breast cancer. It is my hypothesis
that testosterone at adolescence increases vulnerability to smoking. I do not
know if smoking increases testosterone in men. Black women produce more
testosterone than white women and also more estrogen, so, no, increased
testosterone in women does not mean lower estrogen. I have not examined my
hypothesis in benign breast problems.
