- Deodarant/antiperspirant and breast cancer Frequent use of deodorant or antiperspirants can cause breast cancer? This claim however is not supported by strong scientific evidence. Till now, there are no strong epidemiological studies done to prove the association of deodorant with breast cancer. A study in 2002 looked for links between antiperspirant use and breast cancer in 1,500 women. The researchers found that neither antiperspirants nor deodorants increased breast cancer risk. These conclusions were based on interviews with 813 women with breast cancer and 793 women with no history of breast cancer. The result was published in The Journal of National Cancer Institute.
