A preliminary study conducted at Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York, scientists have discovered "alterations in protein expression in the breast milk of women with breast cancer compared to women without breast cancer." According to study author Roshanak Aslebagh, the proteins may indicate potential biomarkers of breast cancer and serve as a viable breast cancer screening mechanism for women under the age of 40. As the study authors further note, "breast milk analysis may someday offer an alternative to mammograms for women in their childbearing years."
