"Breast size is indeed one of the causes of breast cancer risk. If the breasts are bigger, then the lump can stick anywhere," he said, in an interview with detikHealth some time ago.

"Because there is a lot of fat and a wider area, the lump has space to develop. It's different if the breasts are small," added Dr. Rachma.


He also stressed, that based on research it has been proven, breast size can be a risk of breast cancer.

"It is more risky to be large, because a lot of space for cancer can grow," he concluded.
