dc.description.abstract | Breast cancer is the most prevalent gynecological
tumor in young women, the world's second most
common cancer, and the most commonly diagnosed
cancer among women. ¹
Age of menarche, number of pregnancies, age at
first birth, lifetime duration of breastfeeding, age at
menopause, and use of menopausal hormone
therapy are all reproductive risk factors linked to
breast cancer risk; however, research has found that
these factors are associated with each subtype
differently. Because breastfeeding is a modifiable
risk factor, it is of special relevance in the
prevention of breast cancer | en_US |
