Breast size doesn't appear to be contributing factor in cancer risk.
2004 DEC 2 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- One area where size doesn't appear to matter is breast cancer, study results indicate.
"Several studies have been published on the incidence of breast cancer following augmentation mammaplasty, with very different conclusions. A lower incidence of breast cancer than expected was found in a study conducted by Deapen and Brody in women who had undergone augmentation surgery, and an anticarcinogenic effect of silicone implants has been suggested. Before accepting this conclusion it is important to study the relationship between breast size and the risk of developing breast cancer," researchers in The Netherlands stated.
"It can be assumed that on average, women who have their breasts enlarged have smaller breasts, originally, than other women. Therefore, it seemed possible that breast size might be the predominant factor, and not the silicone implant," wrote A.D. Koch and colleagues, University of Groningen Hospital.
The plastic surgeons analyzed data from questionnaires completed by 146 women "to test the hypothesis that women with breast cancer have statistically larger breasts than women who are not found to have breast cancer."
