Why this source matters
Establishes a metal-specific biomarker signature in breast cancer: copper accumulation (especially metastatic), cadmium elevation (endocrine disruption via ERα), zinc/manganese depletion (immune deficiency), and nickel/lead as metalloestrogens. WikiBiome depends on this evidence to explain how metal burden drives both nutritional immunity dysregulation and estrogen-dependent dysbiosis—linking metallomics to the estrobolome pathway across endocrine cancers.
