Evidence suggests that associations with reproductive risk factors may vary by breast cancer subtype. In the Nurses' Health Studies, we prospectively examined associations of reproductive factors with breast cancer subtypes defined using immunohistochemical staining of tissue microarrays. Multivariate\u2010adjusted Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Over follow\u2010up, we identified 2,063 luminal A, 1,008 luminal B, 209 HER2\u2010enriched, 378 basal\u2010like and 110 unclassified tumors. Many factors appeared associated with luminal A tumors, including ages at menarche (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>heterogeneity<\/jats:sub>\u2009=\u20090.65) and menopause (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>heterogeneity<\/jats:sub>\u2009=\u20090.05), and current HT use (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>heterogeneity<\/jats:sub>\u2009=\u20090.33). Increasing parity was not associated with any subtype (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>heterogeneity<\/jats:sub>\u2009=\u20090.76), though age at first birth was associated with luminal A tumors only (per 1\u2010year increase HR\u2009=\u20091.03 95%CI (1.02\u20131.05), <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>heterogeneity<\/jats:sub>\u2009=\u20090.04). Though heterogeneity was not observed, duration of lactation was inversely associated with risk of basal\u2010like tumors only (7+ months <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic>. never HR\u2009=\u20090.65 95%CI (0.49\u20130.87), <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>trend<\/jats:sub>\u2009=\u20090.02), <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>heterogeneity<\/jats:sub>\u2009=\u20090.27). Years between menarche and first birth was strongly positively associated with luminal A and non\u2010luminal subtypes (<jats:italic>e.g<\/jats:italic>. 22\u2010year interval <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic>. nulliparous HR\u2009=\u20091.80, 95%CI (1.08\u20133.00) for basal\u2010like tumors; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>heterogeneity<\/jats:sub>\u2009=\u20090.003), and evidence of effect modification by breastfeeding was observed. In summary, many reproductive risk factors for breast cancer appeared most strongly associated with the luminal A subtype. Our results support previous reports that lactation is protective against basal\u2010like tumors, representing a potential modifiable risk factor for this aggressive subtype.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ijc.29968","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,19]],"date-time":"2015-12-19T02:45:09Z","timestamp":1450493109000},"page":"2346-2356","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":108,"title":["Reproductive risk factors in relation to molecular subtypes of breast cancer: Results from the nurses' health studies"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"138","author":[{"given":"Julia S.","family":"Sisti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology Harvard T.H.
