A number of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are widespread environmental contaminants that cause mammary cancer experimentally. We investigated whether exposure and susceptibility to PAH, as measured by PAH-DNA adducts in breast tissue, are associated with human breast cancer. We carried out a hospital-based case-control study using immunohistochemical methods to analyze PAH-DNA adducts in tumor and nontumor breast tissue from cases and benign breast tissue from controls. The subjects were white, African-American and Latina women without prior cancer or treatment, including 119 women with breast cancer and 108 with benign breast disease without atypia, PAN-DNA adducts measured in breast tumor tissue of 100 cases and in normal tissue from 105 controls were significantly associated with breast cancer (OR = 4.43, 96% CI 1.09-18.01) after controlling for known breast cancer risk factors and current active and passive smoking, and dietary PAH, There was substantial interindividual (17-fold) variability in adducts overall, with 27% of cases and 13% of controls having elevated adducts, The odds ratio for elevated adducts in tumor tissue compared with control tissue was 2.56 (1.05-6.24), after controlling for potential confounders. Adduct levels in tumor tissue did not vary by stage or tumor size. Among 86 cases with paired tumor and nontumor tissue, adducts levels in these two tissues were highly correlated (r = 0.56, P
