14 trials analyzed
To come up with this finding, a research team led by Dr. Hatem Azim of the Institute Jules Bordet in Belgium analyzed the results of 14 previously conducted trials published between 1970 and 2009.

More than 1,417 pregnant women with a history of breast cancer and 18,059 women who survived the condition but weren’t pregnant were included in these trials.

Outcome of the analysis
On analysis, it was found that women who got pregnant had 42 percent lower chances of dying of breast cancer than the women who didn’t get pregnant.
