ABSTRACT:

Background

Migraines is likely to play a protective role in the risk of breast cancer.

Methods

PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus and Web of Science were searched to identify studies on the association between migraine and breast cancer from January 1, 2000 through March 12, 2021.

Results

A total of 10 studies were included. Our
