Why this source matters
Meta-analytic confirmation that copper, cadmium, and lead are elevated while zinc and manganese are depleted in breast cancer patients across 36 case-control studies. Anchors the metallomic layer of the breast cancer signature and supports the cross-condition pattern in which Cd-driven estrogen mimicry and Cu/Zn dyshomeostasis recur across estrogen-sensitive conditions.
