New Study Pinpoints Oral Contraceptive-Breast Cancer Link (OCBC link); Resurrects Abortion-Breast Cancer Link (ABC link)
By Joel Brind, Ph.D.
… “Brinton was the chief organizer for the 2003 NCI (U.S. National Cancer Institute) “workshop” on “early reproductive events and breast cancer”, a panel which reported that the lack of an ABC link had been “established”. In other words, since 2003, the NCI has firmly maintained the position that there is no ABC link; that the studies which had reported such a link were deemed unreliable. However,
two of these prior studies were the very studies by the Daling group (of which one Brinton also was a co-author). [2,3] Now, in 2009, Brinton is on record reiterating findings of the ABC link and reporting them as “consistent” with earlier studies that found induced abortion to be a risk factor.”
