Association of Daily Alcohol Intake, Volumetric Breast Density, and Breast Cancer Risk
A woman's love for alcohol may bump up her risk of breast cancer.
This study evaluated if the frequency of alcohol intake affects a woman's susceptibility to breast cancer. The study population included 2,233 women diagnosed with breast cancer and 4,562 females without the disease.
Researchers discovered that habitual drinking of alcohol moved breast cancer risk in the upward direction in women. This study is one of the many studies that have demonstrated the carcinogenic effect of alcohol on the breast.
