Women with a large bust may be more likely to develop breast cancer

Women with bigger breasts DO have higher risk of breast cancer, finds genetic study
 Women with a large bust may be more likely to develop breast cancer, according to scientists.
 A study of 16,000 women found genetic mutations associated with breast size were also linked to the disease.
 Researchers say some of these are involved in regulating the female sex hormone oestrogen, which can trigger the growth of both breasts and tumours.
 While research has linked breast density – the amount of non-fat tissue – to an increased risk of cancer, there has been little evidence of a link with breast size before.
 Participants in the study, carried out by a US company, were asked to give their bra size on a 10-point scale from smaller than AAA to larger than DDD.
 The genetic code of the women – all of European origin – was read by scientists who looked through millions of tiny mutations in their DNA, called single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Out of seven that were strongly linked to breast size, three were also associated with breast cancer.


Breast cancer is the most common form of the disease in Britain, with 50,000 new cases a year and one in eight women affected during their lifetime.
 Dr Nicholas Eriksson of the California-based genetics firm 23andMe said it was the first substantial link between breast size and cancer, but added much more research was needed before it could be considered concrete.
 He said: ‘Our results identify genetic variants that have an effect on both breast cancer and natural variation in breast size.

  ‘While the precise relationships between breast size, density, obesity and breast cancer remain difficult to untangle, understanding the biology . . . may aid in  the development of novel screening tools.’

 He said one of the three mutations regulates the activity of the oestrogen receptor gene that plays a vital role in breast growth and in the majority of breast cancer cases.

 Another is located in a region of a woman’s genome that often shows abnormalities in those with certain types of breast cancer.

 The link was seen regardless of the women’s age, pregnancy and breastfeeding history and genetic ancestry, according to the study published in the journal BMC Medical Genetics.

 Little is known about the biology of breast size, which scientists believe is only half hereditary, but high oestrogen levels are known to be a risk factor for breast cancer.

 There are many different forms of breast cancer, which scientists believe could be treated as ten different illnesses. Weight, alcohol consumption and a strong family history are all risk factors.

 A 2006 study by the Harvard School of Public Health on 90,000 pre-menopausal subjects found larger breast size in slim young women gave them a higher risk of breast cancer in later life.

 Those with a body mass index of 25 or less and a bra size of D or larger had a significantly higher risk of breast cancer than those of the same weight with a cup size A or smaller, they found.

 However, the study’s lead author, Karin Michels, said the findings did not mean those with small breasts could assume they were safe and urged all women to go for breast cancer screening

Prisoners Disembowelled Fellow Frankland Inmate To Eat His Liver

Two prisoners who disembowelled an inmate so they could eat his liver were told by a judge that they are likely to spend the rest of their lives in jail.

Michael Parr, 33, and Nathan Mann, 24, shared fantasies of killing while serving life sentences in neighbouring cells at Frankland Prison, County Durham.

They lured child rapist Mitchell Harrison, 23, into Mann's cell where he was pinned down by Parr, Newcastle Crown Court heard.

Mann, described by a psychiatrist as "a remorseless, callous psychopath" who "harbours cannibalistic urges" and is "one of the most dangerous men in the criminal justice system" cut his neck with a scalpel made from plastic cutlery and a razor blade.

He also stabbed him in the eye with a pen and, after he was dead, cut his stomach open.

He and Parr had planned to cut Harrison's liver in half and share it, but could not bring themselves to do it, the court heard.

Harrison, who was serving an indeterminate sentence for raping a 13-year-old girl in Kendal, Cumbria, in 2009, was found dead by prison guards as they released inmates from their cells on the morning of October 1 2011.

Jailed killer: Michael Andrew Parr

Robert Smith QC said Mann told prison staff he had attacked Harrison.

"He told prison officer Graham in a calm manner that there was a dead body in the cell," he said.

Officers found Harrison lying on the bed, surrounded by blood.

"When asked why they did this, both of them shrugged their shoulders," Mr Smith said.

"Nathan Mann said he had chosen the deceased because he was arrogant and they didn't like him.

"He said they had planned it for a while and just fancied doing it.

"There was nothing to suggest a fight or even a scuffle had taken place."

Callous psychopath: Nathan Mann

Mann said he tried to snap Harrison's neck before proceeding with the horrific attack, the court heard.

Both men were arrested and taken to Durham police station, where Mann admitted he and Parr had shared fantasies about killing.

"Nathan Mann told police that, after he had come to know his co-accused, he told Parr he had thoughts about killing people and that Parr had told him he thought the same way," Mr Smith said.

"They both agreed that they would do it and that they would eat his liver afterwards.

"They intended to remove his liver and cut it in half so they could both eat it."

But they were too shocked by the injuries they had inflicted to go through with it, he added.

Parr was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 32 years.

Mann was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 16 years on top of his current sentence.
