These environmentally persistent compounds have exhibited endocrine system activity in the laboratory (Bonefeld-Jorgensen et al. 2001; Letcher et al. 2002; Oenga et al. 2004) and thus are of concern with respect to reproductive system effects, including breast cancer.
Hemopexin, a protein involved in matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) activation, has been linked to invasion and metastasis in many cancer model systems, including human breast cancer [ 49].
RAD51 is involved in HR, and quantification of nuclear RAD51 foci has also been used to evaluate HR in various cell systems including primary breast tumors (Willers et al., 2009).
PCBs are also associated with thyroid toxicity, effects on immune, reproductive, nervous, and endocrine systems, and cancer effects including breast cancer [ 6- 10].
Extramurally, the top five funded areas of organ systems or disease research are respiratory, neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental, endocrine (including breast cancer), cardiovascular, and immune system diseases or disorders.
Now it is known that KLK6 has a tissue-wide range of expression, including breast, central nervous system, kidney etc. [5].
A detailed report should include a description of the clinical context, if relevant, as well as image findings, including breast density and structure according to different classification systems, interpretation and a final conclusion with recommendations.

The anti-tumour effects reported from in vitro systems led to subsequent investigations using in vivo models in different tumour types, including breast cancer (reviewed in [ 3]).
System A transporters are up-regulated in a range of human cancers, including breast cancer and hepatocellular cancer [ 6, 7].
