How does diethylstilbestrol cause Breast cancer?
Diethylstilbestrol causes proliferation of breast ducts in female fetuses during embryogenesis. This results in a higher incidence of ductal carcinoma of the breast in women over 40. Breast cancer can be highly aggressive and fatal. All women will require some form of treatment including combinations of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and oral adjuvant therapy where indicated. The entire process to be rid of breast cancer may take several years (1). Be sure to read our article on DES and Breast Cancer.
