Prospective studies of oestradiol and breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women.

The 'all studies estimate' was calculated by weighting the individual relative risks by the inverse of their estimated variances, on a logarithmic scale. The relative risk for the study by Garland et al 1992 [1] was calculated by us from published data.
