Prolactin levels & Breast Cancer risk?

#8

Review: Risk of Breast Cancer due to Hyperprolactinemia caused by Antipsychotics (Neuroleptics) - There are mixed results by studies on whether prolactin increases, has correlation or causes risk of breast cancer. "As most breast cancers are thought to be fueled by estrogen23, and hyperprolactinemia causes estrogen deficiency24"



Reduction of Estrogen by Hyperprolactinemia is possibly indirectly through it's LH and FSH lowering effects.

Prolactin possibly causes nipple based tumors, or it possibly influences progesterone to cause Progesterone Receptor tumors.

This study can be related to how mood influences prolactin production, and there are herbs that increase prolactin through this route. There are also commercials that are for suing by people who took those medicines and have gynecomastia.

It seems it is important to cycle presence of (phyto) estrogens, progestogens and prolactin proportionately. Breast cancers seem to be promoted by continued dominance of 1 hormone over the other two (and possibly androgens)
