→Mammography
Without wanting to comment at all about the postulated link between breast cancer and abortion. Should it not at least be mentioned that modern mammography was introduced in 1969, and screening programmes in 1976 - and so would likely explain the rise in diagnosed cases?

:The advent of such technology doubtless explains some of the rise of reported cases since those years, but cannot explain the correlation of number of abortions with breast cancer risk.[[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 09:06, 4 February 2010 (EST)

::As I say, although medically qualified, I cannot claim any expertise in oncology/radiology/obgyn and haven't examined the evidence in detail so won't offer uninformed comment on any correlation. However I do feel that mammography must be responsible for at least part of the rise [[User:JonT|JonT]] 09:29, 4 February 2010 (EST)
