NASHVILLE, Tennessee, Aug. 7 -- Vanderbilt University Medical Center issued the following news:
Oral contraceptives are implicated in slightly increasing breast cancer risk.

While much is known about estrogen signaling, few have researched how receptor homeostasis is maintained to ensure regular cycling.
