Recent research from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center has found a surprising link: the common oral bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum, which is often connected to gum disease, can enter the bloodstream, reach breast tissue, damage DNA, speed up tumor growth, and help cancer spread to other areas like the lungs.

While there is no need to panic, this adds to growing evidence that gum disease may increase breast cancer risk by up to 22% in large studies.
