Causes of Breast Cancer

The specific origin of breast cancer has not yet been determined, however recent studies have shown that there are a number of risk factors; Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that develops from breast cells and is one of the most common diseases affecting women;
 
These are the breast cancer risk factors that are most likely;

• Recent studies have shown that there is a significant incidence in the age group over 50; however, there is a very low incidence in the age group under 25. It is crucial to note that this condition is more aggressive in patients between the ages of 25 and 50.

• – The menstrual cycle is another aspect to take into account; it is typical among women who have longer menstrual cycles, with earlier menarche and later menopause.

• – Women who smoke and consume alcohol have a higher chance of breast cancer.

• – Spinsters and married women who have not had children—or who have had children but have not breastfed them—are more likely to get breast cancer.
• – Women who have had breast cancer on one side are more likely to develop it on the opposite side, and their risks increase if their mother, sisters, or daughters have breast cancer or have had it in the past.

• – Increased intake of saturated fatty acids and obesity are associated with breast cancer.

• – The continuous or successive use of combination oestrogen plus progestin hormone therapy is associated with breast cancer (CHT)

• – Women who have used oral contraceptives for more than ten years are more prone to contracting this illness.

 
On the other hand, women who exercise for 4-5 hours per week lower their risk of getting breast cancer.
In other words, these data are the result of statistical research; they shouldn’t be interpreted as causes or risk factors.
