Can Phyllodes Tumor Be Caused By Meth Use?
i am 33 now and hvn't done any meth in 3 years but did alot in the past. I was diagnosed with breast cancer a year and 1/2 ago and possibly have another tumor now. It was a rare type called a pyhllodus tumor. i was just curious if meth use was related?

No etiologic or predisposing factors have been associated with phyllodes tumors. Meth is not related. Breast pathology is the least of concerns while using Meth. Meth use seriously deteriorate brain an peripheral nervous system structure and function, shortens lifespan and predisposes to domestic and street violence, prostitution, STDs and premature death. Consider quitting meth
