A member asked:
Can getting pregnant earlier in life reduce the chances of getting breast cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: But it is only one of the minor risk factors considered in the gail risk model for breast cancer. Family history, genetics, age at first menstrual cycle, age at first live childbirth, etc. And pregnancy itself is not the issue, it is having a child born and breast feeding the child to reduce your breast cancer risks.
