My grandmother and great-grandmother had breast cancer (their oncologist specified that these cancers were not genetic in nature).

Hello Ma'am,

There has been a lot of talk about this, but the most recent data allows us to state that there is no link between the application of these products in the armpit and the occurrence of breast cancer.

Good day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
