Description
Zhicheng Luo and co-authors follow more than 157,000 Chinese women to study breastfeeding and later cancer risk in a 2026 cohort analysis. Participants were aged forty to seventy-five at entry and were followed for a median of just under five years, during which about fifty-five hundred cancers appeared. Twenty-four cancer types were examined one by one, with statistical models adjusting for other risk factors.
Women who had breastfed had a lower risk of breast cancer, and longer breastfeeding lowered that risk further in the reported models. Longer breastfeeding was linked instead with higher gallbladder cancer risk, a finding the authors present cautiously. Results differed by menopause status for a few other cancers, which the team says needs further study.
