Early age at menarche wasn’t significantly associated with increasing breast cancer incidence, contrariwise menopausal status which was significantly associated with increasing this disease .   The results revealed a significant elevation P? 0.05 in the levels of estradiol E2, and Luteinizing hormones in the women with breast cancer before tumor excision and reduction in the levels of these hormones in the women after tumor excision indicating the role of these hormones in the initiation or promotion breast cancer. In conclusion, this study revealed that breast cancer incidence increased in women in forties and fifties of age and increasing the levels of endogenous hormones such as Estradiol, and luteinizing hormones can increased risk of developing breast cancer especially in postmenopausal women.

Study The Effects Of Chronic Kidney Disease On The Level Of Thyroid Hormones In Iraqi Patients

Chronic kidney disease is consider to be a major health issue which affecting high percent of population worldwide. This study attempted to determine the effects of chronic kidney disease on the function of thyroid gland by measuring its hormones levels . There were 70 subjects included in this study their age between 20 to 70 years divided into two groups, patients and control groups each one contain 35 persons. Blood was obtained from the all subjects for measuring the levels of thyroid hormones . There was increasing in the incidence of chronic kidney disease in the fifties of age as the results of this study revealed. The levels of thyroid hormones recorded significantly P≤0.05 decreasing in patients with chronic kidney disease when compared with healthy persons. For conclude, chronic kidney disease leads to significant changes in the levels of thyroid    hormones that need to be carefully interpreted in these patients
