Causes of breast cancer

From this now, how breast cancer may arise again is not known. Researchers, investigators have made a conclusion that the root of the main causes of disease is a combination of the factors (genetic factors) and the (natural factors around). What we know is only a risk factor. The risk factor is a matter that will determine the risk of the disease to someone. For example, smoking is a risk factor lung cancer disease or heart weak.

The risk of an individual against the disease is not easily determined because of the influence of risk factors vary. A woman should know and understand what factors will affect the risk of breast kanser. We can not yet understand why there are those who have risk factors such as family history (kinship with the disease cancer) and opening risk to the materials and resources on tobacco, free of the disease this attack.

Whereas, someone from low-risk group also is not separate from the disease to confirm this. Relationship is complex and may be influenced by other factors that do not appear. To wipe this mystery will continue to be a long and question marks.

Definite cause/s still unknown but certain risk factor has been linked to it.Risk factor is anything that increased the chance someone get the illness.Some risk factor are fix like age, sex and some are can be controlled.

Fix Risk Factor

• Age-The older you get the more chance you have.Women age more 50 years old have 8-10 times fold more chance of get it compare to younger age.
• Women-women has 100 times more risk than men.
• Family history-if you have family history of breast cancer,you are at a high risk get the cancer.
• Past history of Breast cancer-if you was diagnosed to have breast cancer before than you are prone to get it on the same breast or the other one.
• Menstrual period-the early you have your menarche(1st period),you are slightly high risk get it when you are older.
• Genetic factor-5%-10% link to mutation of gene and breast cancer.BRCA1 and BRCA2 are 80% the involve genes.

Changeable risk factor

• Breast feeding-women who breast fed their child 1-2 years will lower the risk of get breast cancer.
• Alcohol-women who have 2-5 drink daily have 1.5 chance than women who not consume alcohol.
• Exercise-women who do exercise will reduce the risk of getting breast cancer.The more you exercise the lower the risk. The question is how much we need to exercise. Study shown exercise 30 minutes per day for 5 days is enough.
