New Chinese study finds abortion increases risk of breast cancer | LifeSiteNews.com: Led by Ai-Ren Jiang and published in the February 2012 Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, the research finds a “significant dose-response relationship” between breast cancer and the number of induced abortions a patient has undergone, meaning the risk increases with every abortion.
Researchers found that the difference for most premenopausal women with a previous induced abortion was a statistically insignificant 16% increased risk of contracting breast cancer. But those who had three or more abortions fared much worse with a 1.55-fold risk elevation.
However, postmenopausal women with a previous induced abortion showed significantly greater risk of breast cancer: one abortion increased a patient’s risk by a statistically significant 1.79, two increased it by a statistically significant 1.85, and three or more were linked to a non-statistically significant 2.14-fold elevated risk.
