Study Finds Breastfeeding Reduces Mother's Cancer Risk.
2002 FEB 21 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The Breast Cancer Care & Research Fund's website, Breastlink.org, features a study showing that women who breastfeed reduce their breast cancer risk by as much as 50%, depending on the number of children breastfed and the duration of breastfeeding.
There are several reasons why breastfeeding has a protective effect. "During lactation, women's hormone production goes down," says oncologist M. William Audeh, MD, of Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center, and assistant clinical professor of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles. "Lactation changes the nature of the cells in the breast in such a way that they are less likely to become cancerous."
