Breast Cancer
Causes and Risk factors
A person's age, genetic factors, personal health history and diet all
contribute to breast cancer. History of previous cancer in one breast,
especially if it occurred before menopause increases a woman's risk of
developing a new breast cancer unrelated to the first one. About 5% to 10% of
all breast cancers may be related to genes that are passed through close
relatives such as mother or sister, who developed breast cancer before
menopause. Other factors include
• First child over age of 30, hormonal changes during the time of pregnancy may influence a woman’s chances of developing breast cancer.
• Not having children
• Early menarchy (before age 12)
• Late menopause
• Over weight especially in the upper body
• Use of alcohol
• Excessive radiation
• Hormonal contraceptives.
• Hormone replacement therapy for more than five years.
• Usage of diethylstilbestrol to prevent
miscarriage.
• Ovarian cancer patients.
