- Abstract
The relation between breastfeeding and breast cancer risk has been examined in many studies; some have reported no association, and others a reduced risk, particularly among premenopausal women. In the only prospective cohort study, no association was found. We have assessed prospectively the association between breastfeeding and incidence of breast cancer among 89,887 women in the US Nurses' Health Study.
