Although it has long been rumored that tight Bras increase the risk for breast cancer due to a constriction of the tissue, there has never been any real evidence to prove this myth. Even if there is a link, which is unlikely, you would certainly not see an increase in cancer risk unless it was worn very consistently for long periods of time.

No its not possible, it can only cause disease pertaining to breasts such as lymph nodes and that depends on how tight the bra is and if you wear them to bed.

If you wear them 24/7, then you might need a break. Simply just wear a long baggy t-shirt. Try not to wear really small bras. Go to your local clothing store and ask a (preferrably girl) store employee to help you find your size. I reccomend "Victoria's Secret" or "Pink", since they're sort of professionals.

Using a bra continuously may cause pressure on nipple. This causes a condition called as 'Retracted nipple'. This retracted nipple is very important cause of Breast cancer. Every pregnant lady coming to your clinic should be examined for this condition called retracted nipple. In this condition nipple does not protrude out of breast but seems to get pushed inside the breast. Then the lady should be advised to gently pull the nipple outward daily after applying some oil to nipple. So that by delivery nipples come out of breast. Otherwise after delivery milk start coming out of breast but the baby cannot suck the milk, as it can not grip the nipple in mouth. So then your doctor advise you to use the nipple shield. Which is put on nipple and areola of breast. Mother express little milk in it manually and then baby starts to suck milk of the mother and eventually nipples comes out. But all this hasinherentdangers associated with it. Due to retracted nipples 'some of the milk ducts may not get empty or does get it partly. So milk may remain in breast and milk is very good source of food for bacteria. Wrong use of Antibiotics without expressing milk may cause a condition called as 'Antibioma'. In future it will always confuse the expert about the diagnosis of breast cancer. This condition is common in developing countries, where quacks often use the Antibiotics indiscriminately. So here again chronic infection may be cause of breast cancer. So you can get history of retracted nipple almost always if you take careful history of the patient of breast cancer or lady may have forgotten it, after so many years. So chronic mastitis or cells which are remained in ducts since birth of a lady are the most probable cause of breast cancer. So proper care to prevent formation of breast cancer. Either do not wear a bra or if you do use bra, then see that nipple is pulled out during pregnancy only. So that there is no stagnation of milk in the breast. If you breast feed your baby for two years in your life time and do not have 'retraced nipple' then chances of developing the breast cancer comes down to near zero. Breast feeding a baby make your figure bad is a myth. Please remember that you are 'not' a 'sex object'. Getting the breast feeding is a 'birth right' of baby. Itdevelopsstrong psychological bond between mother and baby. Happiness on the face of both mother and baby can be easily observed while feeding and getting fed and one of the most beautiful things in the world. It is advised 'not' to stop breast feeding abruptly but gradually. A process called as weaning. You may continue to breast feed twice and then at night for long time and be sure it will protect you from breast cancer. Baby has no problem in digesting the cells present in the milk and it will 'not' develop cancer in future. There is 'Family history' of breast cancer only means same mistake is repeated by next generation. by observing the milk feeding behavior of old generation. So take care of 'retracted nipple' and breast feed feeding and say 'No' to breast cancer. If there is stagnation of milk in the breast, no amount of pressure on breast tissue will make the milk come out. Instead pressure 'behind' the nipple on areola will easily express the milk 'out'. So enjoy the 'ultimate' happiness in woman's life and save yourself from breast cancer.

What is pathophysiology of breast cancer?

The risk factors for breast cancer include genetics, hormones such as estrogen and estradiol, and injuries to the soft tissue caused in a variety of ways.Other factors that increase breast cancer risk include tobacco and alcohol use, hereditary factors, not having children or late first childbirth, early menstruation, late menopause, radiation and physical injury (including having surgery, a mammogram or biopsy), poor diet, and consumption of milk products.Bras as a related factorThere are a number of factors that affect your risk of getting breast cancer. Probably the most important is whether you wear a bra, how well your bra fits and how many hours per day you wear it. Singer and Grismaijer surveyed bra wearing behavior of 4730 women, 2056 of whom had breast cancer and found that:* Women who wore bras 24 hours per day had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing breast cancer* Women who wore bras more than 12 hour per day but not to bed had a 1 out of 7 risk.* Women who wore their bras less than 12 hours per day had a 1 out of 152 risk.* Women who wore bras rarely or never had a 1 out of 168 chance of getting breast cancer.*The overall difference between 24 hour wearing and not at all was a 125-fold difference.---The above information about bras is from a research team, Singer and Grosmaijer, who are not doctors. They refer to themselves as "cultural anthropologists." (see related link below)breast cancer causes red lumps that look like grape fruit and you can prevent breast cancer by not drinking alcoholMany doctors either say that it is a matter of chance, or that they don't know.However, there are many theories, some of which have been somewhat proved, but not by everyone. Some of these theories include: "Caused by having a pregnancy abortion," "Extended exposure to radio waves," "Eating hydrogenated oils" and even "Genetically modified foods"
