Definitive relationship between antibiotic use and cancer. They do know the results of over treatment. Some times antibiotics are a necessity; but take care otherwise the results will be clear, costly, and life changing. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14970061 Use of antibiotics is associated with increased risk of incident and fatal breast cancer. It cannot be determined from this study whether antibiotic use is causally related to breast cancer, or whether indication for use, overall weakened immune function, or other factors are pertinent underlying exposures. Although further studies are needed, these findings reinforce the need for prudent long-term use of antibiotics. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1856225/ Antibiotic treatment and risk of gastric cancer Our results do not confirm earlier observational findings of a reduced risk of gastric cancer following exposure to heavy antibiotic treatment among hip replacement patients. Suboptimal drug regimens, inadequate timing of H pylori eradication, or insufficient follow up time may possibly explain the lack of association in this setting. Although our findings do not rule out the cancer preventive potential of H pylori eradication, they emphasise that detection of such an effect, if any, may require considerable efforts. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23833124 Frequent antibiotic use may be associated with modestly elevated risk of SBCEs, but the association was not significant. IMPACT: Additional investigation by antibiotic class and underlying indication are important next steps given the high prevalence of frequent antibiotic use and growing number of breast cancer survivors. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20039321 Association between antibiotic use and risk of prostate cancer. Number of prescriptions and number of tablets were used as exposure definitions. Moreover, the effect of different classes of antibiotics on prostate cancer was also studied. A total of 4,052 prostate cancer cases and 16,208 matched controls were included in this study. Antibiotics exposure (number of prescriptions) during the period of 1-15 years in the past was significantly associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer; ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21741150 Antibiotic use and risk of gynecological cancer. Antibiotic exposure up to 15 years in the past was associated with a decreased risk of cervical cancer. The lack of temporal trends and the absence of class specific effects suggest a non-causal relationship ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2672937/ Antibiotic and anti-inflammatory use and the risk of prostate cancer
