RT Journal Article T1 Changes in the total effective xenoestrogen burden (TEXB) of breast cancer patients during an 18-month post-surgical follow-up.

TEXB-alpha (due to persistent organohalogenated chemicals) and TEXB-beta (due mainly to endogenous estrogens) were quantified in 44 women. TEXB values significantly increased over follow-up (p YR 2017 FD 2017-03-10 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10668/10957 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10668/10957 LA en DS RISalud RD Apr 11, 2025
