Currently, there is controversy concerning potential factors that contribute to the development
of breast cancer. Our study analyzed the possible association between weight status, cigarette
consumption, lactation period, serum estrogen levels, family history of breast cancer, and age at
breast cancer diagnosis. We conducted a retrospective study at a University Hospital in
Granada (Spain) by consulting the medical records of 524 women aged 19 to 91 years, all of
them diagnosed and treated for breast cancer from 2011 to 2019. Our findings indicated that in
non-morbidly obese females who were also non-smokers, a maternal lactation period of more
than three months (p = 0.013) and the absence of family antecedents of cancer (p = 0.025) were
statistically significant factors that led to a more advanced age at breast cancer diagnosis. Thus,
maternal lactation seems to have a potential protective effect on breast cancer.
