Two examples are presented for the application of the total effective xenoestrogen burden as biomarker of chemical exposure measured in tissue samples from patients recruited for two case-control studies. The first study focused on environmental chemicals with hormone mimicking activity, the so-called environmental estrogens, and their participation in the etiology of breast cancer. The second study investigated mother-child exposure to persistent organochlorine chemicals and assessed their combined effect on the risk of male urogenital malformations in the newborn.
