Breast Asymmetry Predicts Breast Cancer

Those women who have asymmetry of the breasts may have a higher chance of developing breast cancer compared to those women who have symmetrical breasts as per new research findings. In a study published in the Journal Breast Cancer Research shows that asymmetry of the breast could be used as an independent predictor of breast cancer. Those women with asymmetry of the breasts have a 1.5 fold increased risk of developing breast cancer for every 100ml difference in breast asymmetry compared to women who have symmetrical breasts.

Study leader Diane Scutt from the University of Liverpool, UK and her colleagues studied the mammograms of 252 women who did not have breast cancer at the time of the mammography, but later on developed the disease. The control group consisted of 252 women matched for age who underwent mammography at the same time, but did not develop breast cancer.

The results show that, at the time the mammography was done, women who went on to develop breast cancer had higher breast volume asymmetry than controls. The authors found that the relative odds of breast cancer increased by 1.5 for a 100ml increase in absolute breast volume asymmetry, after adjusting for other potential risk factors. They conclude that breast asymmetry is a significant independent predictor of breast cancer, and could be a reliable indicator of future breast disease.
