  1. Long Island Long Island residents concerned about: • DDT for control of gypsy moths and mosquitoes • Other pesticides used on farmlands • Groundwater contamination • Air pollution (major roads, airports) • Electromagnetic fields • Chemical waste

  2. Long Island Breast Cancer Rates (per 100,000 women, age-standardized to1970 U.S. population) 1997 1992-1996 SEERNassau Suffolk Incidence 109.5 117.8 113.6 Mortality 27.2 30.6 31.1 Source: http://www.health.state.ny.us/nysdoh/cancer/volume1.htm SEER - Surveillance, Epidemiologu and End Results ~15% of US population

  3. Long Island Breast Cancer Study Project NCI and NIEHS sponsored group of ten studies undertaken in response to federal legislation (Public Law 103-43) • The cornerstone project, LIBCSP, is a large population-based study of 3000 women

  4. LIBCSP Primary Aims Determine whether breast cancer is associated with: • Organochlorine compounds (DDT/DDE, PCBs, chlordane, dieldrin) as measured in blood • Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-DNA adducts

  5. LIBCSP Other Aims Whether breast cancer is associated with: • Lifestyle • alcohol, body size, recreational physical activity, occupational physical activity • Diet • PAH-related foods, alcohol, isoflavones, estrogen-metabolite related foods, folate, phytoestrogens, insulin-related foods, brassica veggies • Early life exposures • DES, preeclampsia • HRT and other factors among the elderly • Family History of Cancer • Medical History • NSAIDS

  6. LIBCSP Additional Environmental Study Aims • Questionnaire-assessed exposures • self-reported pesticide use • environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) • home appliance exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) • occupation • medical ionizing radiation • Historical exposures assessed by geographic modeling • long-term PAH exposure • Model validated against soil sample measures taken from the home • Exposure assessment based on home samples • in-home exposure to PAH and organochlorines in dust samples • chlorinated and carbamated pesticides, and metals in drinking water • Biologic samples • urinary estrogen metabolites • ratio of 16alpha-hydroxyestrone to 2-hydroestrone

  7. Population-Based Breast CancerCases Eligibility criteria newly diagnosed 1996-1997 resident of Nassau or Suffolk county no age restrictions speaks English Identification protocol daily contact with 33 hospitals on LI and NYC diagnosis confirmed by MD N = 1508 82% completed interviews Response varied by age:< 65yrs = 89%, 65yrs = 72%

  8. Population-BasedControls Eligibility criteria resident of Nassau or Suffolk county no personal history of breast cancer speaks English frequency-matched on age to expected distribution of cases Identification protocol Random digit dialing among women under age 65 years Health Care Financing and Administration for >65 years N = 1556 63% completed interviews Response varied by age:< 65 yrs=76%, 65 yrs=43%

  9. Random sample of long-term (15 yr) residents: Interview-home samples Cases Controls Dust 84% 83% Water 94% 94% Soil 94% 94% LIBCSP Case-Control Study

  10. LIBCSP Molecular Epidemiology Studies Biologic Specimens Available: • Urine (n = 1400 cases and 1300 controls) • Blood (n = 1100 cases and 1100 controls) • DNA isolated from blood donations (n = 1100 cases and 1100 controls) • Archived tumor blocks (n = 975 cases)

  11. Results of LIBCSP in Relation to Known Risk Factors Protective Beginning menstruating at an older age Having children Increases with number of children Having a first child at a younger age Breast feeding Risk Factor Higher body mass index is a risk factor Smoking and alcohol consumption are not significant Breast Cancer Res Treat 74: 235, 2002

  12. Environmental Chemicals and Risk for Breast Cancer in the LIBCSP No relationship with blood levels of organochlorine compounds measured - DDE, DDT, PCBs, dieldrin, chlordane High PAH-DNA damage in blood cells indicated small (50%) but statistically significant increase in risk-but no dose-response [Results duplicated in remaining samples]

  20. LIBCSP Molecular Epidemiology Studies(projects as of 10/03) Urinary Markers: • Estrogen metabolites, isoprostanes,isothiocyanates Blood Markers: • Exposure Markers • PAH-DNA adducts, oxidative DNA damage, organochlorine compounds, insulin (among controls) • Genetic Markers • polymorphisms in estrogen,folate and carcinogen metabolism,DNA repair, oxidative stress , estrogen receptor alpha and beta genes, IGF, cyclin D Tumor Markers: • Tissue - PAH-DNA, 4-ABP-DNA, p53 protein expression, p53 mutations, cyclin D1 and HER-2/neu overexpression • Blood - antibodies to p53, HER-2/neu protein

  21. LIBCSP Follow-Up Breast Cancer Cases • Determine case vital status, change of address • Primary exposures of interest are measures: • assessed at baseline case-control study, and • during the follow-up interview • Re-interview case participants or proxy at 5-year follow-up • One-hour telephone interview to determine medical treatment for initial cancer, and changes in: • residence, occupation, use of pesticides and other contaminants, appliance use, alcohol use, passive and active smoking, body size, physical activity, medical hx, hormone use, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use • Self-administered FFQ • Collect medical records • Determine outcome status • NYS Tumor Registry, NDI, respondent, medical record

  22. LIBCSP: Companion Projects • Geographic Information System (GIS) • National Cancer Institute • Mapped layers of historical exposure data from multiple sources (EPA) • -Mapped cancer data from NYS Tumor registry, conserving patient privacy • Use as an estimate of historical exposures, particularly for compounds for which biomarkers are not currently feasible • May be useful for exploratory or hypothesis-generating analyses • Access on line • lay public vs. scientific researchers

  23. LIBCSP: Companion Projects • Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) • SUNY at Stony Brook (PI: C Leske) • Recontacted long-term residents of case-control interview • More detailed interview on occupational and residential EMF exposures • In-home spot and 24-hour measures with EMDEX meter • Wire Coding • May affect production of melatonin • inversely related to biologically available endogenous estrogen levels
