American researchers have suggested that early puberty increases the risk of breast cancer. Scientists believe that cancer is associated with female sex hormone astrogene. Therefore, the earlier the girl ripens, the earlier the hormone begins to act.

The risk increases more in women who have a genetic predisposition to cancer.

Scientists examined 1. 811 pairs of identical twins, at least one of them, suffers from breast cancer. Surveys have shown that the maturation of that of the sisters who fell ill later came earlier.

While researchers can not assert with full confidence that the relationship between early maturation and predisposition to disease does exist. This should show further research.
