On bone mineral density, experts suggest that the risk of breast cancer in women. A new study has shown that high bone density in women is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, regardless of the level of risk as determined by a commonly used model Gale. Scientists believe that the risk of breast cancer better evaluated simultaneously by two methods. Gail model takes into account family history of breast cancer, age and other risk factors, the odds of women are diagnosed within 5 years and assessed throughout life. However, this model does not take into account bone density. Scientists conducted a study and found that zoledronic acid is used to treat osteoporosis, the risk of breast cancer among women decreased in the period before menopause. Other studies have shown that when vitamin D in the body (which also affects the health of the bones) in breast cancer more likely to relapse. Women with high bone mineral density often suffer from obesity, which further increases the risk of breast cancer. But even with all these findings is not yet clear relationship between blood levels of female sex hormones estrogen, bone density and breast cancer.
