| Abstract: | A woman's body type can have an effect on her breast cancer risk. Being tall is associated with a small increase in breast cancer risk. Body weight, especially changes in body weight after early adulthood, are important risk factors for postmenopausal breast cancer. Most studies have suggested that breast size has no effect on breast cancer risk. |
