That's good information about iodine. It says iodine lowers Fibrocystic Breast Disease. And a linked page http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/iodine-polycystic-ovary-syndrome-pcos/ says iodine is good against pcos. The links posted also say iodized salt doesn't contain enough iodine.
Minerals need to be balanced proportionally, and there is less room for error with minerals. Vitamins just need to be taken, but don't require a delicate balance. The body can tolerate varying levels of vitamins so long as there isn't a deficiency or an excessive amount (Upper Limit). This is good to keep in mind for vitamin/mineral supplements.
This is leading to something, like which minerals are good for breast health. Vitamins and minerals good for overall body health are relevant: iodine, vitamin D and others more so.
Metallic estrogens are Metalloestrogens. I'm unsure of the complete definition of xenoestrogens. Small amounts of chromium found in foods are necessary for health, but too much and it becomes carcinogenic. And mineral estrogens do compete with each other.
There are a lot of receptors, but they are hard to research. I think many minerals have a receptor on the body. Breasts have calcium (CaSR) receptors for regulating milk expression (dormant until breast feeding). Ligneous tissue has receptors that are in most other body cells. There may be a receptor type that is important, but un-researched since there are receptors that may need to be targeted in triple-negative breast cancer (it is targeting a receptor that is not ER-alpha, PR, or prolactin).
