Abstract

Over 25 years ago Bulbrooket al. [1] published initial results on the endocrine comparison of British and Japanese women, and this led him and Hayward to initiate a detailed Anglo-Japanese collaboration to determine whether there was an endocrine basis for the difference in breast cancer incidence. This study covered an age range from teenage to past the menopause. In the intervening years there have been a number of similar studies, and it seems appropriate that this meeting has provided a forum for discussing the results of these investigations.
