A member asked:

I read on a site that there are rare chances of having breast cancer in pregnancy. is the risk higher?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: Breast cancer may occur during pregnancy but it is unlikely that pregnancy is a risk factor. See this site for more info. http://www.cancer.org/cancer/breastcancer/moreinformation/pregnancy-and-breast-cancer.
