Experimental studies suggest protective effects of vitamin D on breast carcinogenesis, particularly on estrogen receptor-positive tumors. Epidemiologic data are less conclusive.
Our objective was to investigate the association between postmenopausal breast cancer risk and current or past vitamin D supplementation overall and according to the use of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT).
Between 1995 and 2008, 2482 invasive breast cancer cases were diagnosed among 57,403 postmenopausal women from the E3N prospective cohort during 581,085 person-years. Vitamin D supplementation was assessed from biennially self-administered questionnaires sent in 1995, 2000, 2002, and 2005 and from medico-administrative data on drug reimbursements since 2004. Multivariable HRs for primary invasive breast cancer and 95% CIs were estimated by using Cox models.
A decreased postmenopausal breast cancer risk was associated with current (HR: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.69, 0.97) but not past (HR: 1.10; 95% CI: 0.92, 1.31) vitamin D supplementation (P-homogeneity = 0.02). The association with current vitamin D supplementation differed according to MHT use: ever users (HR: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.60, 0.90) and never users (HR: 1.13; 95% CI: 0.89, 1.56); P-homogeneity = 0.02.
In this observational study, current vitamin D supplementation, mostly taken daily and combined with calcium, was associated with a decreased postmenopausal breast cancer risk in MHT users. These findings should be confirmed before considering vitamin D supplementation to partly balance the MHT-associated increased breast cancer risk.
实验研究表明,维生素 D 对乳腺癌发生具有保护作用,尤其对雌激素受体阳性肿瘤。但流行病学数据的结论尚不明确。
本研究旨在调查绝经后女性乳腺癌风险与维生素 D 补充剂的使用(包括当前使用和既往使用)之间的相关性,以及维生素 D 补充剂的使用与是否接受激素替代疗法(HRT)之间的相关性。
E3N 前瞻性队列研究纳入了 57403 名绝经后女性,随访 581085 人年,共诊断出 2482 例浸润性乳腺癌病例。维生素 D 补充剂的使用情况通过 1995 年、2000 年、2002 年和 2005 年每两年一次的自我报告问卷以及 2004 年以来的药物报销医疗记录进行评估。使用 Cox 模型估计主要浸润性乳腺癌的多变量 HR 和 95%CI。
当前使用维生素 D 补充剂与绝经后乳腺癌风险降低相关(HR:0.82;95%CI:0.69,0.97),但既往使用维生素 D 补充剂与绝经后乳腺癌风险无关(HR:1.10;95%CI:0.92,1.31)(P 趋势=0.02)。当前维生素 D 补充剂与 HRT 使用之间的相关性存在差异:HRT 使用者(HR:0.74;95%CI:0.60,0.90)和非使用者(HR:1.13;95%CI:0.89,1.56)(P 趋势=0.02)。
在本观察性研究中,当前维生素 D 补充剂的使用,主要是每日服用并与钙联合使用,与 HRT 使用者的绝经后乳腺癌风险降低相关。在考虑使用维生素 D 补充剂来部分平衡 HRT 相关的乳腺癌风险增加之前,需要进一步证实这些发现。
