Women with different sized breasts are more likely to develop breast cancer say researchers. They measured the difference in the breast size of 504 women and charted those who remained healthy and those who developed breast cancer. [/p]The risk of contracting the disease rose by 50 per cent for each 100ml increase in breast difference. The average female breast in the study was about 500ml. [/p] Study leader Dr Diane Scutt, said that uneven breasts was a significant predictor of breast cancer. However, she said women should treat this with caution: [/p] "One risk factor on its own should not be taken in isolation, you have to see it in the context of a woman's entire profile. [/p]"If women are in a high risk category and they are found to have breast volume asymmetry maybe this will alert people to monitor them more closely," Dr Scutt said. [/p] Most women have uneven breasts
Dr Scutt also stressed most women have asymmetrical breasts and less than one per cent of the women studied had "perfect breasts". [/p] Maria Leadbeater, spetgwpdt at the charity Breast Cancer Care, said more research was needed. Adding: [/p]"For many women having slightly different shaped breasts is perfectly normal. However, if your breasts are normally close in size and you notice them becoming asymmetrical, it is important to get this change checked out with your doctor." [/p] The study by scientists from Liverpool University was published in the journal Breast Cancer research.
