Can a women get breast cancer by wearing a bra while sleeping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is no evidence to suggest that wearing a bra at anytime could lead to cancer. The reason for the development of cancer is complex and is related to changes in the cell that result in abnormal cells not dying as they should and instead piling up.
