No: But there is a connection with number of pregnancies, ( more is protective) age of the woman, hormone therapy, alcohol, smoking, family history (genetic factors) etc. Etc. Are few among the many other risk factors. Statistically according to some 1 in 7 women will come down with the condition, thus early dg is imperative!
