Age at maximum height predicts aggressive breast cancer risk

http://www.breastcancersource.com/br..._28734___.aspx

FWIW, I reached maximum height at age 12. I am ER+ (80%) PR+ (50%), Stage 1c. IMO, the result seems consistent with some form of growth factor activity. In the abstract, the researchers say the relationship between maximum height and bc is "understudied."

I was 9 or 10 when I reached my end height.
