There have been numerous researches that link cow's milk and cancer in humans:

Hormones in milk can be dangerous – Harvard Gazette
Cow's milk containes more than 50 hormones designed to boost the calf's immune system and regulate its fast growth. Nature has designed the multi component cow's milk... yes, for calves. While human breast milk is the best food for an infant(and there is no question about it), so is cow's milk the best food for calves. For them it's a fully nutritional, healthy beverage that containes more than 50 hormones, some of which are:
- bombesine(a neuropeptide) (3)
- GRP (Gastrin-releasing peptide) (4)
- substance P (a neurotransmitter) (5)
- CGRP (calcitonin-gene-related peptide, also a neurotransmitter) (5)
- IGF-1 (Insulin-like growth factor-1) (6)
- IGF-2 (6)
- EGF (Epidermal growth factor) (7)
- NGF (Nerve growth factor) (8)
- PRP (Prolactin-releasing peptide (9)
- LHRH (or : GnRH, stimulates secretion of LH and FSH) (10)
- progesterone (11)
- peptide YY (12)
- peptide histidine methionine (12)
- neuropeptide Y (stimulating appetite) (13)
- TRH (stimulating TSH secretion) (14) TRH stimulates prolactin- (15) and GH secretion (16), through T3. (17)
- TSH (stimulating T3- and T4 secretion) (18)
- T3 (Triiodothyronine) (19) T3 increases the number of estrogenreceptors, increasing estrogen-influence. (20)
- GHRF (Growth-hormone-releasing factor) (21) GHRF stimulates GH- and (through GH) IGF-1 and -2 secretion (22)
- ACTH (regulating cortisol secretion) (21)
- neurotensine (23)
- cortisol (24)
- insuline (regulating blood-glucose level) (25)
- beta-endorphine (opioid peptide) (26)
- small opioid peptides (see site12)
- benzodiazepine-agonist peptides (neurotransmitters) (27).
- estrogen (28) - chief promoter of breast and prostate cancers
...
There is also a powerful GROWTH hormone called Insulin- like Growth Factor ONE (IGF-1). By a freak of nature it is identical in cows and humans. Consider this hormone to be a "fuel cell" for any cancer... (the medical world says IGF-1 is a key factor in the rapid growth and proliferation of breast, prostate and colon cancers, and I would suspect that most likely it will eventually be found to promote all cancers).
On top of this, milk also containes allergens, cholesterol and pesticides that enter the milk directly from the green plants that the cow consumes. Cow's milk is also allowed to have feces in it and this is a major source for bacteria(supposedly killed by pasteurization). Pus is a very common ingredient of cow's milk as well.
Farmers keep cows pregnant every year just for the milk(effectively stealing the best food that nature could design for the calf).
I've given up milk and dairy more than a year ago and never looked back. My question is:
How can you drink something that has such god-awful ingredients? Just thinking about this cocktail of hormones, enzymes, proteins, pus, feces, allergens, dioxins, bacteria, cholesterol and pesticides is enough to make me puke day and night. Which one of these do you want in your body(and believe me, this is just a part of what's inside every sip of milk)?
