Diet and risk of breast cancer in relation to estrogen and progesterone receptor status in Japan

Dear Prof Phillips,

Thank you for your email of August 5, 2008, regarding our manuscript, “Diet and risk of breast cancer in relation to estrogen and progesterone receptor status in Japan”, and the valuable comments of the three reviewers. I attach here our revised manuscript, as well as a point-by-point response to the reviewers’ comments.

We feel that the revised manuscript is a suitable response to the comments, and is significantly improved over the initial submission. We trust that it is now suitable for publication in the International Journal of Epidemiological Research. Thank you in advance for your kind consideration of this paper.

Sincerely yours,

Satoru Higenashi, MD
