摘要：

Diethylstilbestrol (DES), a powerful synthetic estrogen introduced in 1938, was prescribed to prevent pregnancy complications, but was later shown to have a series of adverse side-effects in the offspring, including cancer of the vagina. Recent evidence indicates that in utero exposure to DES is also linked to breast cancer in women over the age of 40 years. This evidence provides support to the hypothesis that in utero exposures may affect breast cancer risk in adult life.
