Association between brominated flame retardants and risk of endocrine-related cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, although this meta-analysis has several limitations, our results suggest that BFR exposure is a significant risk factor for breast cancer, and low-brominated BDE-28 exposure could significantly increase the risk of endocrine-related cancers. Further research is essential to clarify the potential causal relationships between BFRs and endocrine-related cancers, and their carcinogenic mechanisms.PMID:38387762 | DOI:10.1016/j.toxlet.2024.02.002
