Abstract

Studies from many nations suggest that induced abortion (IA) may be a causal risk factor for the development of breast cancer. Researchers agree that IA contributes to the increased risk of breast cancer by delaying the timing of a full-term pregnancy which is a protective factor. Increasing numbers of studies now show that IA prior to 32 weeks in and of itself is a risk factor for breast cancer due to the physiology of breast development and the manner in which abortion interferes with the maturation of the breast cells. Although largely ignored by the mainstream medical community, this risk information deserves a prominent place in the education of all adolescent women who may, in the future, consider an IA.

给青少年妇女及其父母的信息:堕胎和患乳腺癌的风险。

许多国家的研究表明，人工流产(IA)可能是乳腺癌发展的一个因果风险因素。研究人员一致认为，IA通过推迟足月妊娠的时间来增加患乳腺癌的风险，而足月妊娠是一个保护因素。现在越来越多的研究表明，由于乳房发育的生理和流产干扰乳腺细胞成熟的方式，32周之前的IA本身就是乳腺癌的一个危险因素。尽管主流医学界在很大程度上忽视了这一风险信息，但这一风险信息在对未来可能考虑进行内孕的所有青春期妇女的教育中应占有突出地位。
