Arrebola is under contract within Ramon y Cajal program (RYC-2016-20155, Ministerio de Economia, Industria y Competitividad, Spain). The EPIC-Spain cohort was supported by the Health Research Fund (FIS) -Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII), the Regional Governments of Andalucia, Asturias, Basque Country, Murcia and Navarra, and the Catalan Institute of Oncology -ICO (Spain). ; Background Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor that it is present in numerous products of daily use. The aim of this study was to assess the potential association of serum BPA concentrations and the risk of incident breast and prostate cancer in a sub-cohort of the Spanish European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Methods We designed a case-cohort study within the EPIC-Spain cohort. Study population consisted on 4812 participants from 4 EPIC-Spain centers (547 breast cancer cases, 575 prostate cancer cases and 3690 sub-cohort participants). BPA exposure was assessed by means of chemical analyses of serum samples collected at recruitment. Borgan II weighted Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios. Results Median follow-up time in our study was 16.9 years. BPA geometric mean serum values of cases and sub-cohort were 1.12 ng/ml vs 1.10 ng/ml respectively for breast cancer and 1.33 ng/ml vs 1.29 ng/ml respectively for prostate cancer. When categorizing BPA into tertiles, a 40% increase in risk of prostate cancer for tertile 1 (p = 0.022), 37% increase for tertile 2 (p = 0.034) and 31% increase for tertile 3 (p = 0.072) was observed with respect to values bellow the limit of detection. No significant association was observed between BPA levels and breast cancer risk. Conclusions We found a similar percentage of detection of BPA among cases and sub-cohort from our population, and no association with breast cancer risk was observed. However, we found a higher risk of prostate cancer for the increase in serum BPA levels. Further investigation is needed to understand the influence of BPA in prostate cancer risk. ; Ministry of economy and competitiveness ; National Institute of Health: Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) ; AECC "Junta provincial de Murcia" PI14/00067- PI14/01716- PI14/01880- PI14/00556- BA15/00093- FFIS-CC 2016-06 ; Spanish Government RYC-2016-20155 ; Health Research Fund (FIS) -Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) ; Regional Governments of Andalucia, Asturias, Basque Country, Murcia and Navarra ; Catalan Institute of Oncology -ICO (Spain)
