Abstract:
What's new? Breast‐cancer risks differ between women of African ancestry and women of European ancestry, especially for aggressive, hormone‐negative tumors. In this large African study, the authors found that, while increased parity reduced the risk of all breast‐cancer subtypes after age 50, the opposite was true for risk of developing estrogen‐receptor (ER) negative tumors at a younger age. However, longer breastfeeding appeared to reduce the risk both for early‐onset, ER‐negative tumors and for all tumor subtypes with later onset. Efforts to promote extended breastfeeding may thus help reduce many breast cancers in this population.
