Some breast diseasecan increase the likelihood of having breast cancer

Breast cancer is stillunknown disease until this day, despite the fact that cancer affects nearly tenpercent of women over the age of forty years around the world. Cause thiskiller cancer is not known even after decades of research. So it is not knownwhy some women have a higher chance to get Breast Cancer than the others.

Although the factorskausatif are unknown, there are several risk factors have been identified.There is no medical evidence why these factors create disease is more likely tohappen, but this is the study's observations. In a broad cross-section of womenwith risk factors have been observed, it was found that the chances of gettingbreast cancer is very high.

Variousrisk factors for breast cancer are as follows:

1.Breast cancer family history

If the brother orsister who was near the mother has breast cancer, then there is a very highlikelihood that the cancer will occur sometime in your life. This tendency is observedeven if high voltage mosquito traps distant relatives, such as cousins and aunt had breast cancer, thoughlikely lower. Even if a brother has cancer of the breast or prostate cancer,then there are chances of getting breast cancer. This clearly shows that breastcancer walks through the family line through inheritance. Of course thepossibility is very high if more than one family member has breast cancer.

2.Personal history of breastcancer

If a woman has hadbreast cancer in the past, then there is a great possibility that breast cancercan occur again. This is true even if the cancer has been removed although inthe stage of benign. Sometimes cancer cells spread to adjacent lymph. Thismakes it likely that the cancer will occur in the another breast. In fact,women who have had breast cancer have 50-75% more chances to develop breastcancer in the another breast.

3.Breast disease

Some breast diseasecan increase the likelihood of having breast cancer. Changes in breast cellscan lead to atypical hyperplasia. This condition may cause a a three-four timesthe increase in the chances of getting breast cancer the following year. Thisrisk also exists if the atypical hyperplasia has occurred in other women inyour family. Other conditions such as benign tumours of the breast is acondition known as fibro adenoma. However, women with fibrocystic breastsgenerally do not have any vulnerabilities to breast cancer. However, such acondition could make a lump and hide the real of breast tumor (if any) duringmammography.

4. Lifestyle

In today's world, thelifestyle is the largest single contributing factor to the development ofbreast cancer among women. Some elements of lifestyle has been found to be theprevalence of breast cancer. Smoking and alcoholism in women is a major factor.Diet even pointed out as a risk factor that is important. Women who consumefoods with higher cholesterol fats in it has a higher chance to hit by breastcancer. At the same time, lifestyle without engaging much in physical activityis also potentially dangerous.

5. Radiation

It has been found thatwomen who undergo radiation therapy in their chest area at a young age have anincreased risk of developing breast cancer in their life later. Radiationtherapy is commonly prescribed to women with conditions such as Hodgkin'sdisease or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. So women who have undergone treatment aspossible will get breast cancer in later years.

6.Hormonalimbalances

There are severalfactors which can alter the hormonal balance of the body. A few of them:

1.    Earlymenstrual cycle early, i.e. before the age of twelve,

2.    Becausethe first pregnancy after the age of thirty years,

3.    Hasa pregnancy does not exist at all

4.    Havemenopause end.

All of theseconditions can increase the levels of estrogen in the body. This increases therisk for breast cancer to light levels. In addition to that women who use birthcontrol pills, breast enhancement supplements, antidepressants andantihistamines and hormone supplements have a higher risk for getting breastcancer.

Above is a major riskfactor for breast cancer is exposed. But because the studies on breast canceris not yet complete, the list above is not a complete list. There is someindication of breast cancer, such as breast implant surgery; But this has notbeen confirmed. Implants used in previous days made of silicone gel. This isrisky in terms of breast cancer. However, currently the silicone gel implant isreplaced by a saline implants. This has reduced most of the risk.

Conclusion

Should also note alsothat women have a much higher chance to get breast cancer than men. In fact,most people think that breast cancer is a disease that only affects women. Thisis not true. Men can also be affected by breast cancer, but for a much lowerrate than women. Also, the age is a very important factor. Your risk forgetting breast cancer are much higher when the woman has crossed the age of 50years.
