Alcohol Linked To Breast Cancer

Tuesday, August 24, 2010

Even though experts have suspected alcohol to be a breast cancer risk factor for a long time, new study suggests its more strongly linked to certain types of breast tumors.

The study published in the Journal Of National Cancer institute found that women who drank at least one alcoholic drink a day were at a higher risk of developing estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor positive breast cancers.

Alcohol was also connected with an increased risk of non invasive breast cancers and not for invasive tumors.
