Prostate Cancer and Breast Cancer have this in common:

There are hundreds of millions of different proteins in nature, and only one hormone that is identical between any two species. That powerful growth hormone is
insulin-like growth factor, or IGF-I. IGF-I in milk and dairy products survives digestion and has been identified as a key factor in the proliferation and growth of breast and prostate cancer cells. IGF-I is identical in human and cow.

If you believe that breast feeding "works" to protect lactoferrins and immunoglobulins from digestion (and benefit the nursing infant), you must also recognize
that milk is a hormonal delivery system. By drinking cow's milk, one delivers IGF-I in a bioactive form to the body's cells. When IGF-I from cow's milk alights
upon an existing cancer it is like pouring gasoline on a fire.
