[Hopeful]

researchers at Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson have finally proven a long suspected theory: Inflammation in the breast is key to the development and progression of breast cancer.

There is also an abstract (and possibly poster) from SABCS that shows that a history of benign breast biopsies is a risk factor for bc. It is logical to me that repeated biopsies cause inflammation which later causes bc. This is the negative side of the screening controversy that no one talks about - not just that screening may result in unnecessary biopsies, but that unnecessary biopsies may result in cancer.
