In this article (1), which was published in the October 2009 issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, there were errors in some abbreviations used for estrogens and estrogen metabolites (EM) when considered as a proportion of total EM. For example, “16%-hydroxylation pathway EM” is incorrect, and should be “%16-hydroxylation pathway EM.” Similarly, “%4-OHE1,” “%2-MeOE1,” “%2-MeOE2,” “%16-ketoE2,” and “%16-epiE3” are the correct abbreviations.
