Meanwhile, researchers from Denmark have found that women with daily stress in their life are exposed to less risk of breast cancer. The study published in the British Medical Journal was conducted in 6,689 women for a follow up period of 18 years.
The estrogen, which is responsible for growth of cancer cells, causes increased risk of breast cancer. Researchers have found that stress reduced the production of oestrogen and suppressed the production of oestrogen, the reduction of oestrogen production, decreased the risk of breast cancer.
