Abstract
Detection of male microchimerism was strongly associated with reduced risk of developing breast cancer and also the increased risk of developing colon cancer. Confirmatory findings based on an improved study design, failure to identify important confounders and the strength of the associations lead us to believe that microchimerism may be highly relevant to later cancer development. However, the present study does not allow us to identify the underlying biological mechanisms.
