According to your question:
Is there a connection between anti perspirant deodorants and breast cancer?
From what I have learned there is a strong connection between anti perspirant deodorants and breast cancer.
Directly under the skin of the underarm, we have lymph nodes which are a part of the immune system fighting infections, diseases and removing foreign particles and toxins. These nodes accumulate "dirt" through the blood stream which is then secreted with the perspiration.
Here are more details from lovlis.com and you can also find there a lot of more details:
If we stop the perspiration the nodes swell and toxins stay in our body for a longer time and at a greater concentration.
We absorb and store deodorant chemicals applied to the skin. In a recent study 18 of 20 breast tumors contained parabens (synthetic preservatives) found in underarm products. Parabens mimic estrogen, and estrogen can drive tumor growth.

The FDA which authorizes selling of cosmetics and drugs in USA classifies antiperspirant as a drug, since this product changes a natural body act (blocks perspiration from the underarm).

While a deodorant which only fight the odor of perspiration but does not block it is classified as cosmetic.
