What happened
A new study suggests that pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding may increase cancer-fighting T cells in breast tissue. Researchers found this immune effect in women and mice, and linked breastfeeding to slower tumor growth and more T cells in aggressive triple-negative breast cancer. The authors say the results could inform future immunotherapies and more personalized breast cancer prevention and treatment.
