Hello, it is not true that tanning salons reduce the risk of breat cancer.
breast cancer is commonly due to genetic disorders or oestrogen disorders, and UV light would not have an effect on these levels.
However UV light does greatly increase the risk of skin cancer, by producing radicals that damage DNA.
In short one should avoid tanning salons to reduce risk of skin cancer.
If worried about obtaining breast cancer i would advise regular check ups that your GP can organise, especially if you have a family history. Every 6 months may be appropriate.
thats great! breast cancer occurence increases with age also, so make sure you continue to go to your mammogram appointments all the best!
