Inhibition of estradiol can lead to serious developmental problems for both males and females, including sexual, skeletal, and mental development issues.
During the study period, there were 4,562 cases of breast cancer and 2,073 deaths following a breast cancer diagnosis, and 659 deaths from breast cancer. At the start of the study, the scientists ...
