Context Use of antibiotics may be associated with risk of breast cancer through effects on immune function, inflammation, and. metabolism of estrogen and phytochemicals; however, clinical data on the association between antibiotic use and risk of. breast cancer are sparse.Objective To examine the association between use of antibiotics and risk of breast cancer.Design, Setting, and Participants Case-control Study among 2266,women older than 19 years with primary, invasive breast cancer (cases) enrolled in a large, non-profit health plan for at least 1 year between January 1, 1993, and June 30, 2001, and 7953 randomly selected female health plan members (controls), frequency-matched to cases on age and length of enrollment. Cases were ascertained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cancer registry. Antibiotic use was ascertained from computerized pharmacy records.Main Outcome Measure Association between extent of antibiotic use and risk of breast cancer.Results Increasing cumulative-days of antibiotic. use were associated with increased risk of incident breast cancer, adjusted for age and length of enrollment. For categories of increasing use (0, 1-50, 51-100, 101-500, 501-1000, and greater than or equal to1001 days), odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for breast cancer were 1.00 (reference), 1.45 (1.24-1.69), 1.53 (1.28-1.83), 1.68 (1.42-2.00), 2.14 (1.60-2.88),and 2.07 (1.48-2.89) (P
