Nulliparity Open Access Articles

 Pregnancy may reduce the risk of  breast cancer through the introduction of persistent changes in the mammary gland that make the breast less susceptible to carcinogenic factors. Nulliparity and increase in weight t may have a synergistic effect on breast cancer risk in older women. If confirmed by others, the findings may help disentangle the interplay of different causes of breast cancer. If the breast undergoes permanent changes during pregnancy, it is possible that the mammary gland's susceptibility to other important exposures could also be altered by pregnancy-related factors. However, it is unknown whether the effects of parity can be modified by other risk factors for breast cancer.
