Medical experts say that 10p-a-day pill metformin could decrease the risk of developing breast cancer by up to 40per cent.

 

The tablet, which is used to treat diabetes, reduces a woman’s risk of having dense breast, which contain less fatty tissues and more non-fatty tissue such as milk-making and draining glands, which is a major factor in developing tumours.

 

The University of Southern Denmark scientist said: “We found women with diabetes, who take oral medication or control it by diet only, have lower breast density than women without diabetes. Both groups have about 40% lower odds of having dense breasts, than women without diabetes.”

 

Chair of the Amsterdam conference Professor Fatima Cardoso said: “This study shows clearly that a link between diabetes treatment and breast density, an important risk factor for the disease, has been made.

 

“I hope this will lead to further research into the effect of cheap, easily available drugs such as metformin, not just on breast density, but on breast cancer risk overall.”
