This Can Increase Breast Cancer Risk...
Dear Reader,
Here's an important "I told you so" moment. If you smoked early in life... before you got pregnant, your risk of developing breast cancer may be modestly higher according to research that adds new evidence to the case against smoking and cancer of the breast.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among all women of the world, and in the United States, it is the second most common cause of death in women. Lung cancer is first. The work appears in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
For this research, the experts examined the effects of personal smoking history, as well as any passive smoke exposure on the risk of breast cancer using data from 111,140 female subjects taking part in the Nurses Health Study who were followed from 1976 to 2006; along with another 26,017 women who provided information from 1982 to 2006 on secondhand smoke exposure. Clearly there is a very large study group here.
The analysis found that breast cancer risk was 18% higher among those women who started smoking before they had their first baby, and 4% higher for those who started smoking after the first birth or sometime before menopause. Unexpectedly, smoking after menopause was associated with a slight decrease in risk.
During the follow up period, 8,772 cases of breast cancer were diagnosed. The risk of this type of cancer was higher for the following groups:
- Heavy current, or past, smokers (25 or more cigarettes/day).
- Those who started smoking before age 17.
- Women who smoked for at least 20 years.
- Current or past smokers with a history of 20 or more pack-years
(number of packs smoked per day multiplied by number of years smoked).
As you might expect, the women who were heavy smokers who started early and kept the habit for a long time were at the highest risk of breast cancer according to study leader Fei Xue, MD. ScD of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard University.
The good news for non smokers?

This Can Increase Breast Cancer Risk... Continued...
Never smoking and passive smoke exposure (in childhood) were not linked to an
increased risk of breast cancer. Living with parents who smoked, or secondhand
exposures at work or school were also not associated with a higher breast cancer
risk, even after adjusting for other known risk factors.
Experts have known for some time that cigarette smoke contains several cancer
causing substances, yet the link between smoking and breast cancer has been elusive,
some studies offering findings that were inconsistent or controversial. One of
the difficulties is that lifetime smoking comes from many places - active and
passive (secondhand) smoke - and these aren't so easy to measure.
Breast cancer is a disease that is expected to strike one in seven American women
sometime during their lifetime. This year alone, there will be 207,090 new cases
of breast cancer among women in the United Sates according to the National Cancer
Institute numbers.
More work in this area is needed to further clarify the link, and what can be
done to help women resist smoking at an early age, when they can do damage to
their bodies that can't be undone.
To your good health,
