Abstract
There is a significant association between PBM and the risk of having BC, mainly GBC when compared to BDC. Most of the studies published reported data from Japanese patients, which limits the generalization of the results. The age of patients and sex were not significantly associated with the relation between PBM and BC. Further prospective studies in broader populations will provide additional details to take measures for screening and early management of PBM and BC.
