abstract = {Epidemiologic data suggest that parity increases risk of
hormone receptor-negative breast cancer and that
breastfeeding attenuates this association. Prospective data,
particularly on the joint effects of higher parity and
breastfeeding, are limited.We investigated parity,
breastfeeding, and breast cancer risk by hormone-receptor
(estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR)) and molecular
subtypes (luminal A, luminal B, HER2-enriched, and
basal-like) in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS; 1976-2012) and
NHSII (1989-2013). A total of 12,452 (ER+ n = 8235; ER-
n = 1978) breast cancers were diagnosed among 199,514
women. We used Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for
breast cancer risk factors, to calculate hazard ratios (HR)
and $95\%$ confidence intervals (CI).Parous women had lower
risk of ER+ breast cancer (vs. nulliparous, HR = 0.82
[0.77-0.88]); no association was observed for ER- disease
(0.98 [0.84-1.13]; Phet = 0.03). Among parous women,
breastfeeding was associated with lower risk of ER- (vs.
never 0.82 [0.74-0.91]), but not ER+, disease (0.99
[0.94-1.05]; Phet < 0.001). Compared to nulliparous
women, higher parity was inversely associated with luminal B
breast cancer regardless of breastfeeding (≥ 3 children:
ever breastfed, 0.78 [0.62-0.98]; never breastfed, 0.76
[0.58-1.00]) and luminal A disease only among women who had
breastfed (≥ 3 children, 0.84 [0.71-0.99]). Basal-like
breast cancer risk was suggestively higher among women with
higher parity who never breastfed; associations were null
among those who ever breastfed.This study provides evidence
that breastfeeding is inversely associated with hormone
receptor-negative breast cancers, representing an accessible
and cost-effective risk-reduction strategy for aggressive
disease subtypes.},
