Emed News Monday, April 14, 2008   Alcohol drinking women can develop breast cancer A new study proposes that women who drink many alcoholic drinks a day could increase their risk of developing a widespread kind of breast cancer by as much as 50 per cent. The study found that the more alcohol a woman drinks, the larger her likelihood of developing tumors, which are positive for estrogen and progesterone receptors. "This suggests that a woman should evaluate consumption of alcohol along with other known breast cancer risk factors, such as the use of hormone replacement therapy," said Jasmine Lew, who led the research for the U.S. National Cancer Institute, in a release.   posted by emedinfo @12:52 AM permanent link   | |    Bookmark & Share     << Home
