Author Information
Louise Annette Brinton is a distinguished researcher affiliated with the Division of Cancer Epidemiology & Genetics at the National Cancer Institute in Rockville, MD, USA. Her extensive work primarily focuses on the epidemiology of cancer, with a particular emphasis on hormonal factors and breast cancer risk among women. She has contributed significantly to understanding how endogenous hormones and genetic mutations influence cancer risk, especially in African populations.Research Contributions
Dr. Brinton's research spans a wide array of topics within cancer epidemiology. Her recent publications include studies on the relationship between body size, serum estrogen metabolism, and breast cancer risk among postmenopausal women in Ghana. She has also explored the impact of hair relaxer and skin lightener use on circulating estrogens, as well as the genetic risk factors for breast cancer in Ghanaian women. Her work extends to examining the role of endogenous hormones in colorectal cancer risk, the recurrence of high-stage endometrial cancer, and the cognitive outcomes in children born through assisted reproductive technologies. These contributions have provided invaluable insights into the complex interplay between hormones, genetics, and cancer risk.Aliases
