Habitual and heavy consumers of alcohol may have a high disposition to breast cancer.
The purpose of this study was to determine the risk of breast cancer among alcohol users. Researchers gathered data and evidence from 8 published studies that examined over 2,000 breast cancer patients and more than 150,000 women without the disease.
Researchers noticed a hike in breast cancer risk among premenopausal women who were avid consumers of alcohol. The findings of this study revealed that the greater the frequency and quantity of alcohol consumed, the higher the susceptibility of a premenopausal woman to breast cancer.
