Breast cancer occurs
when cells in the
breast begin to grow out of control enabling them to
invade nearby tissues or spread throughout the body. Collections of
these out of control tissues are called tumors. However, not all breast
tumors are considered cancerous since certain types of large cells just
cannot be spread or threaten a person’s life and this kind of
tumor is
called benign tumor. On the other hand, the tumors that can spread all
throughout the body or invade nearby tissues are considered cancerous
cells and are malignant. Cancer cells usually comes from either ducts
or glands in the breast that is why it may take months or even years
for a tumor to be notice in the breast. Breast tumors are screened with
the
use of mammograms that are rather accurate in screening tumor or cancer
cells.
Women are much prone to develop breast cancer that men. Only
1% to 2% of men have been known to have cases of breast cancer. The
early onset of menstruation in women at the age of 12 increases the
risk for a breast cancer on the other hand an early menopausal period
may
reduce the risk of breast cancer. The risk for women to have breast
cancer increases with age in fact a study shows that women over 50 are
more likely to develop breast cancer. Nevertheless, the incidence of
breast cancer among younger women is also increasing in an alarming
rate that is why more women of ages 20s to 30s have subjected
themselves to
be diagnosed.
Breast cancer is not only acquired but also can be
inherited. For women who have genetic mutation such as BRCA1 or BRCA2
has an 80% risk of developing breast cancer. Women who have
first-degree relative diagnosed to have breast cancer increase their
risk of also
acquiring breast cancer. Moreover, women with first-degree relative
that are diagnosed to have breast cancer before menopause increase the
risk
for them in acquiring breast cancer.
Some factors contribute to the
occurrence of breast cancer and these are as follows: smoking, alcohol
and radiation exposure. Women who are smoking will increase their
chances to have breast cancer. Aside from that, high intakes of alcohol
have been found to be a source of breast cancer. Radiation exposure is
another factor that contributes to breast cancer. Studies have shown
that women as well as children who have undergone high-dose radiation
therapy have a much higher chance of having breast cancer.
