Epidemiologic studies have found differences between urban and rural women in breast cancer incidence and mortality, both generally being higher in urban areas. Now a British study suggests that women who live or work in urban areas have denser breasts and thus potentially a greater risk of breast cancer, according to a report published online 19 December 2007 ahead of print in Current Medical ...

As might be expected, there was a wide range of lifestyles fo...
