there is no evidence that wearing a bra causes breast cancer.
breast cancer and bra's are not even related to each other.
bra/breast cancer relationships are just popular myths created by people. some people say that wearing a bra to bed causes breast cancer which is also not true.
bra is just a peice if cloth/polymers/etc. it does not release any carcinogens. its worn outside the body like other clothing. breast cancer tumors are formed inside the body, underneath several layers of skin. if clothes cannot cause cancer, then bras cannot cause cancer either.
unless the bra is made with radioactive isotopes....there is no way that it could cause breast cancer or any other type of cancer....and we all know that bras are made with safe materials....!

Breast cancer symptoms can be detected by finding a single lump that is firm and most often painless; prominent veins on the breast skin surface; swelling on the skin of the breast or underarm with an unusual appearance; when a breast nipple becomes inverted and changes in texture, develops a rash, or has discharges other than breast milk.
This is why doctors are constantly telling women to complete self breast exams, because if these signs are not noticed or acknowledged right away, the breast cancer stage will advance. There are five stages of breast cancer, from stage 0 to stage IV, and early breast cancer detection is pertinent.
You need to be are aware of the signs of breast cancer and follow these guidelines:
Have a clinical breast examination done every three years from ages 20-39, then every year thereafter.
Every woman between the ages of 40-49 should have a mammogram every one to two years to detect for signs of breast cancer.
Women 50 and older should have a mammogram every year.
Stay healthy by keeping a low-fat diet, not smoking or drinking, and exercising 3 times a week.
There have been no mention of any type of scientific findings that wearing the wrong bra size can lead to breast cancer. The only effect this could cause is over time this could cause drooping breast.
You can consult with a expert at Victoria Secret to obtain the best fitting bra.

No. If there was, then a lot more women would have breast cancer since a big percentage of us aren't wearing the proper sized bra. Breast cancer isn't caused by anything. It just happens.

It is hard to say what causes cancer, they are still making great strides in the conquest of cancer. I don't believe you wearing a too small bra, to show more cleavage, Will cause it.

No...Breast cancer is caused by malignant (Cancerous) cells.
Bra size has nothing to do with it!
