| Reference: | Lancet 1992; 239: 523-24 |
| Place of Study: | Boston, USA |

Women with breast cancer had a reversed pattern of cerebral asymmetry significantly more often than did controls for both frontal and occipital width. |

| Discussion: | This is one of the many studies suggesting that an intrauterine factor, probably hormonal, could predispose to breast cancer in adulthood. See entries 0026,0068, 0071, 0194,0211 and 0283. |
