On October 3, 2022, from 2 to 4 pm, the Département Prévention Cancer Environnement (INSERM U1296 Centre Léon Bérard) is organizing a webinar on the links between chronic exposure to air pollution and breast cancer risk, to present the results of the XENAIR project (2017-2022) carried out within the French E3N cohort.

The detailed program will be unveiled shortly.

The XENAIR project: Chronic low-dose exposure to xenoestrogenic air pollutants and breast cancer risk in the E3N cohort

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Environmental factors, particularly endocrine disruptors, are suspected of increasing its incidence. The XENAIR program, supported by the ARC Foundation, investigated the hypothesis of an association between breast cancer risk and chronic exposure to 8 atmospheric pollutants in a case-control study (5222 cases; 5222 matched controls) nested within the French E3N cohort. An increased risk was observed for 5 pollutants (_NO2, BaP, PCB, _PM10 and PM2_.5).
