Breast cancer is a disease largely unknown until now, despite the fact that it affects almost ten percent of women aged over forty years in the world. The causes of this cancer killer is not known even after decades of exploration. Similarly, we do not know why some women have more chances of breast cancer than others. Although the causes are unknown, certain risk factors have been identified. There is no medical evidence why these factors make the disease more likely, but it is a study of the observation. In a large section of women to risk factors observed, it was shown that the chances of breast cancer are very high. The various risk factors for breast cancer are as follows: - (1) family history of breast cancer If a close relative like a mother or sister from breast cancer, it is likely that the cancer occur at some point in life. This trend can be observed, although many parents such as cousins and aunts have had breast cancer, although chances are less that the parents are removed. Even if a male relative had breast cancer or prostate cancer, then there is the possibility of developing breast cancer. This clearly shows that breast cancer runs in family lines through inheritance. Admittedly, the chances are very high if more than one family member has had breast cancer. (2) personal history of breast cancer If a woman has breast cancer in the past, then there is a chance that the cancer may recur. This is true even when the cancer was in its benign stage itself has been removed. Sometimes the cancer cells in nearby lymph nodes are spread. This makes it possible that cancer occurs in the opposite breast. In fact, women who had breast cancer in a 50-75% more opportunities for the development of cancer in the other breast. (3) diseases of the chest Several diseases of the breast may increase the risk of breast cancer. Changes in the cells of the breasts can cause atypical hyperplasia. This condition can be diagnosed by an increase of three to the possibility of breast cancer in later years, has quadrupled. This risk also exists if the atypical hyperplasia occurred in other women of the family. Another condition is the condition of the breast tumor as benign adenoma fiber known. However, women with fibrocystic breasts are not generally susceptibility to breast cancer. But such conditions could make lumpy breasts and hide the real tumors (if present) during the mammogram. (4) Lifestyle In today’s world is the single most important mode of life in the spread of breast cancer among women. Various elements of lifestyle have a direct agreement with the prevalence of breast cancer. Smoking and drinking among women are among the most important factors. Even diet has been noted as an important risk factor. Women who consumed a diet richer in fat-cholesterol in a greater chance of breast cancer. At the same time leading a sedentary life is delivered without much physical activity is also potentially dangerous. (5) Radiation It was found that women undergoing radiotherapy in the chest at a young age is an increased risk of developing breast cancer later in life. Radiation therapy is usually prescribed for women suffering from diseases such as Hodgkin’s or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Thus, women who have undergone these treatments may have breast cancer during the years later. (6), hormonal disorders There are several factors that can alter the hormonal balance of the body. Some of them are: - a) start of the menstrual cycle early, before the age of twelve, b) after the first pregnancy after age thirty, c) having no pregnancy all, d) with a late menopause. All these conditions can increase the level of estrogen in the body. This increases the risk of developing breast cancer with light level. Besides the fact that women who regularly take the pill, breast enhancement supplements, antidepressants and antihistamines, and hormonal changes are additions to a higher risk of developing breast cancer. The above are the main risk factors for breast cancer. But as the study of breast cancer is not yet complete, the above is by no means a complete list. There are few other signs of breast cancer, like breast implant operations, but they have not yet been confirmed. The implants used in the early days were made of silicone gel. They have been in contact with a higher risk of breast cancer. But today, the silicone gel implants were replaced by saline implants. This reduced the risk to a great extent. Also note that women have much higher chances of developing breast cancer than men. In fact, most people think that breast cancer is a disease that affects women only. This is not true. Men also have breast cancer, but to a much lesser extent than women. In addition, the age of a very important factor. The chances of developing breast cancer are much higher than the woman crossed the age of 50 years.
