Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and Breast Cancer
Health science journal(2021)
摘要
Several organochlorines identified as hormone disruptors
have been proposed as possible risk factors for breast
cancer. DDT is a chemical (organochlorine) with insecticidal
properties. It was used during the Second World War by the
military to control malaria-carrying insects, and
subsequently in areas where malaria is found. These
effective sprays of DDT are likely to have side effects on
health. Many previous studies have evaluated whether DDT
is associated with the risk of breast cancer. This review
presents eleven studies, two of which support the
hypothesis that DDT can predict breast cancer in women.
The evaluation of these studies showed that the available
data are not sufficient to establish a causal relationship
between DDT exposure and breast cancer. In order to
confirm that DDT is a predictor of breast cancer, it is
essential to conduct further experimental studies, taking
into account several factors including the use of similar
epidemiological methodologies to ensure comparability of
results between studies.
