Breast cancer
The breast is a gland that consists of breast tissue supported by connective tissue (flesh) surrounded by fat. Breast cancer develops from the cells that line the breast, lobules and the draining ducts. Women have a risk from three factors.
First, the risk factor from your body. Inherited can be passed on from either parent and some family members pass on the breast cancer genes. Women who start menstruating early in life or who have a late menopause have a risk of breast cancer too. And The incidence of breast cancer increases with age and doubles every 10 years until the menopause when the rate of increase slows.
Second, the risk factor from surrounding. There is quite a difference in incidence and death rate of breast cancer between different countries. The biggest difference is between Eastern and Western countries. And the increase in risk depends on the dose which they received radiation.
Final, the risk factor from your behavior. Women who begin taking the contraceptive pill before the age of 20 appear to have a higher risk than women who begin taking oral contraceptives at an older age. And having no children and being older at the time of the first birth both increase the lifetime incidence of breast cancer.
In conclusion, the risk factor of breast cancer are your body, surrounding and your behavior. You can protect your self from some factors. If you start to do this day you will decrease the risk factor of breast cancer. what is the high risk factor leading to be breast cancer
