Women who have had abortions may increase their breast cancer risk by as much as 50 percent, according to researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle. The scientists based their results on interviews with 845 breast cancer patients and 961 healthy women of the same age group. They cautioned that further research was necessary to verify the conclusions. The study also found that the younger the women having the abortion, the greater the risk of breast cancer.
