A member asked:
Is doederante (anti presperante) causing breast cancer?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
National cancer Ins: There is no conclusive research linking the use of underarm antiperspirants or deodorants and the subsequent development of breast cancer. Research studies of underarm antiperspirants or deodorants and breast cancer have been completed and provide conflicting results.

Probably not: Not that i know of. We ask breast cancer patients not to use aluminum containing deoderants during radiotherapy to minimize skin reaction (but not because we think it has an impact on oncologic outcome).
