Bras and breast cancer
Bras and breast cancer
There have been reports, e-mails and websites that say wearing a bra might cause breast cancer.
At this time, there is no reliable, scientific evidence that shows a link between wearing a bra and developing breast cancer. If well-designed, peer-reviewed studies are carried out on this subject, the Canadian Cancer Society will review the research and the results.
The Canadian Cancer Society understands that Canadians are concerned about breast cancer, but recommends that caution be exercised in evaluating any medical information or claims obtained from the unmonitored Internet – the Internet can be an empowering source of information but personal health concerns should always be discussed with a qualified health professional.
