A new study which found a significant increase in advanced breast cancer rates in women ages 25-39 is raising questions about the possible cause.
According to The Seattle Times, the study, published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, found that advanced cases climbed of breast cancer in younger women jumped from 293 cases per year in 1976 to more than 838 per year in 2009, an increase of 186 percent.
The study was based on information from 936,497 women who had breast cancer from 1976 to 2009. Younger women between the ages of 25 to 39 years old were the only group which showed an increase in advanced breast cancer rates.
Researchers consider advanced breast cancer to be that which has already spread to other organs such as the liver or lungs by the time it is diagnosed, a scenario which greatly diminishes survival rates.
Dr. Rebecca Johnson, the study’s lead researcher, who is the medical director of the Adolescent and Young Adult oncology program at Seattle Children’s Hospital, says she hopes future studies may reveal why these rates are increasing in young women.
“The rate of this change has been so rapid we think it’s likely there’s some sort of external factor,” she told the Times. Perhaps it’s a “modifiable risk factor” such as obesity, alcohol use, the age when a woman first gives birth, an environmental toxin exposure, or a combination of factors.
“It could be complicated, it could be simple, or something we haven’t thought of yet,” Johnson said.
What everyone seems to be ignoring, however, is the link between abortion and breast cancer which has been substantially supported in studies that are usually dismissed by the secular health care industry.
According to Karen Malec, president of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer, 56 of 71 epidemiologic studies, and biological and experimental evidence support the abortion-breast cancer link. In addition, the World Health Organization lists estrogen-progestagen oral contraceptives such as the birth control pill in the highest level of carcinogenicity.
“It’s peculiar, but not surprising, that the authors offered no hypotheses in their paper explaining the increased incidence in advanced cancers among young women,” argued Mrs. Malec. “Abortion and use of hormonal contraceptive steroids among teenagers are the elephants in the living room that the medical establishment ignores.”
As Malec points out, the rate of advanced breast cancer doubled for African Americans, ages 25-39, climbing from 3.14 in 1976 to 6.25 per 100,000 in 2009, with a statistically significant annual percent change of 3.50.
“Is this any wonder when the abortion rate for African American women is more than double that of white women?” asked Mrs. Malec.
By comparison, the rate of advanced breast cancer for non-Hispanic whites in the same age group climbed by 56 percent during that period from 1.52 in 1976 to 2.37 per 100,000 in 2009, with a statistically significant annual percent change of 2.67.
“Many more young women are at risk for developing advanced breast cancer in the future because of an ObamaCare mandate requiring employers to purchase insurance that will provide “free” (cancer-causing) hormonal contraceptive steroids and abortion-inducing drugs,” warned Malec. “It doesn’t matter to government officials how many lives are destroyed because of it.”
