Early Puberty May Be Linked To Higher Chance Of Developing Cancer In Later Life, Study Suggests.

reports that research published in Nature Genetics suggests “starting puberty early increases the chances of developing cancer in later life.” Investigators “found that for every one year earlier a person goes through puberty, their chances of going on to develop breast cancer increase by 6 per cent.” The study indicated that “the risk rises 28 per cent for endometrial cancer, 8 per cent of for ovarian cancer and 9 per cent for prostate cancer.” http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2017/04/24/early-puberty-increases-cancer-risk-research-proves/
