Breast Cancer; Its Causes
by Hector Milla
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor developed from cells of
the breast, and it is one of the most common cancers affecting females, at time
has not been established what is the exact cause of this one, but last
researches clearly pointing that there are several risks factors;
These are
the most probably breast cancer risk factors;
- Last researches have
established that in the age group above 50 years there is a high incidence; on
the other hand, in the age group below 25 years the incidence is very low. It is
very important to say that this disease is very aggressive in patient 25-50
years old.
- Menstrual cycle is other factor that should be considered;
common in the ladies who have a longer menstrual life, i.e. the onset of
menarche is earlier and cessation of menstruation is late.
- The women
that smoke and drink alcohol increase the risk of developing breast
cancer.
- Breast cancer is developed more frequently in spinsters and
married woman that have not given birth to children, or if given birth then have
not breast fed their offspring.
- The women that have had a breast cancer
on one side have greater risk to develop cancer on the opposite side, and if
there are antecedents of breast cancer in their families (mother, sisters and
daughters), there are greatest risks too.
- Breast cancer is linked with
obesity and higher intake of saturated fatty acids
- Breast cancer is
linked too, with the continuous or sequential uses of combined oestrogen plus
progestin hormone therapy (CHT)
- Women that have been using oral anti
contraceptives for more than ten years are more vulnerable to the development of
this disease.
On the other hand, women doing 4-5 hours of exercises per
week reduce their risk of developing breast cancer.
In short, these facts
derive from the statistical analysis; they should not be taken as causative or
predisposing factors.
