Abstract
Several organochlorines identified as "hormone disruptors" have been suggested as potential risk factors for breast cancer (BC). Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is a chemical with insecticidal characteristics (organochlorine). It was first used by the military to control malaria-carrying insects during the Second World War, and then in malaria-endemic areas after that. These highly powerful DDT sprays are likely to have side effects on health. Several prior studies have evaluated whether DDT is associated with an increased risk of BC. In our current review, we summarize data linked to the assessment of the DDT exposure and BC risk.
