Sumario:Matched pair analysis relating to 3376 mothers of children who died of cancer 1972–1981 and of healthy control children from the Oxford Survey of Childhood Cancers showed no evidence of protection from breastfeeding for acute lymphocytic leukaemia (OR 1.04, 95% CI 0.86–1.26), for all cancers combined (OR 1.04, 95% CI 0.93–1.15) or for other groupings. Analyses by duration of breastfeeding also failed to support the protective hypothesis.
