The Causes of Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that develops from breast cells and is one of the most prevalent diseases affecting women. While the specific origin of this cancer has yet to be determined, recent research clearly indicates that there are various risk factors:

The following are the most likely risk factors for breast cancer:

- Recent studies have discovered that there is a significant prevalence in the age group over 50 years; on the other hand, the incidence in the age group below 25 years is quite low. It is critical to emphasize that this disease is quite aggressive in patients aged 25 to 50.

- Another element to consider is the menstrual cycle; this is more prevalent in women who have a longer menstrual life, i.e. the beginning of menarche is earlier and the cessation of menstruation is later.

— Women who smoke and consume alcohol are more likely to get breast cancer.

- Spinsters and married women who have not given birth to children, or who have given birth but have not breastfed their children, are more likely to get breast cancer.

- Women who have had breast cancer on one side are more likely to acquire cancer on the other side, and if they have a family history of breast cancer (mother, sisters, or daughters), they are much more at risk.

- Obesity and greater consumption of saturated fatty acids are connected to breast cancer.

- Continuous or sequential use of combination oestrogen plus progestin hormone treatment has also been connected to breast cancer (CHT)

- Women who have used oral contraceptives for more than 10 years are at a higher risk of developing this condition.

Women who exercise for 4-5 hours each week, on the other hand, had a lower risk of breast cancer.

In other words, these findings are based on statistical analysis and should not be interpreted as causing or predisposing variables.
