According to a study, breast cancer in young women is more likely to be fatal if they have ever had a baby

Breast cancer in young women is more likely to be fatal if it occurs after delivery, according to a new study.

The researchers found that bad changes brought on by the birth of a child facilitate the spread of cancer cells.

Dr. Virginia Borges, oncologist, who led the University of Colorado study, said, "If a woman has bad cancer before age 45, she is much more aggressive and more likely to kill if she has had bad cancer. children. "

The study followed 701 American women diagnosed between 1980 and 2014 and before their 45th birthday.

Among women diagnosed in the early stages of cancer, those who gave birth less than ten years before diagnosis were up to five times more likely to see cancer spread than non-mothers.

Dr. Borges found that procreation causes bad changes that cause much more aggressive cancer cell behavior, increasing their ability to invade surrounding bad tissue and spread.

She pointed out that her findings did not mean that becoming a mother increased the risk of bad cancer.

But she said maternity was "an easily identifiable risk factor" for bad cancer aggressiveness, which women and doctors needed to know.
