Best Answer

Doctors used to think that women and/or men with large breasts might be more prone to developing malignant tumors, but the idea has never been proven by research, and therefore might or might not be true. Being overweight, however, does increase your risk, and when you are overweight, you tend to have larger breasts.

So, if your breasts are larger because you are 20% more overweight than your ideal weight, it might be a good idea to shed a few pounds.
