Post-abortive women 636% more likely to develop breast cancer, new study finds
A recent study in India has found that
women who have had an abortion are 636% more likely to develop breast cancer
compared to women with no history of abortion.The report, published in the Indian Journal of Cancer, suggests that terminating a pregnancy makes the breast’s epithelium tissue more likely to act as a cancer-producing agent.
“It has been suggested that abortions leave the breast epithelium in a proliferative state with an increased susceptibility to carcinogenesis,” it says.
"History of abortion was also found to be positively associated with the risk of breast cancer with a 6.26 times higher risk in women having a history of abortion." Christian Concern.
