Rodríguez: "Re: A Medical Article I Want To Share With You" Placental weight is most closely associated with Birth Weight. Birth Weight is most closely associated with Maternal Prepregnancy weight. Estrogen levels in non pregnant state are most closely associated with obesity. Therefor, one would expect higher placental weights in women who had breast cancer.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
