Triple Negative Breast Cancer
The use of oral contraceptive has been found closely linked with breast cancer, it is iterated by a leading cancer journal and the findings may prove a challenge for the breast cancer research community.
Triple negative breast cancer was studied involving around 1200 women between the age of 20 and 45. The study established a distinct etiology for women who used these oral contraceptives for more than a year and it found even stronger relation between triple negative breast cancer and women who started using these contraceptives under the age of 18.
The study was surfaced in April 2009 and its chief author Jessica Dolle with other researchers from Seattle based Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have established that a use of oral contraceptive for more than a year may increase the risk of triple negative breast cancer to 2.7 folds.
Triple Negative breast Cancer is a subtype of cancer that has high rate of mortality and quite little hope of cure.
The study said that specifically older age, family history with breast cancer, earlier menstruation, induced abortion and oral contraceptives are related to increased risk of breast cancer.
The study declares that it has the strength of being a population based study and largest of its kind for evaluation of breast cancer subtype and etiologic differences among young women.
The danger of triple negative breast cancer is 4 times greater for older women who used oral contraceptives for more than a year.
Breast cancer is the major cause of death among women of 20-59.

Great and informative article. Breast cancer survival rates are among the highest of all cancers. Studies shown that women who exercise for atleast 30 minutes and 4 times a week can decrease the risk of having breast cancer.
