Breast Cancer

- Chosen by Voters In fact only a very small number of breast cancer cases(5-10%) are due to inherited factors. For most people, increasing age is the greatest risk factor. Most cases (approximately 80%) of breast cancers occur in post-menopausal women (women aged over 50 years).Other known risk factors for breast cancer are:Having children at at an older age or not at all. The more children a woman has may also slightly lower her risk. Breast-feeding helps protect against the disease. The longer a woman breast feeds her children, the more she lowers her risk. Starting periods at a younger than average age (under 12) or having a late menopause (after 55). Taking the contraceptive pill or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) causes a small increase in risk. However, the risk gradually returns to normal after you stop taking them. Being overweight (especially after the menopause). Regularly drinking more than 1 unit of alcohol per day slightly increases the risk of breast cancer. Having a previous diagnosis of breast cancer increases the risk of developing a new cancer in the other breast.These are only risk factors though, and by no means everyone who ticks one or even all boxes will develop breast cancer.Breast cancer causes more than 12,500 deaths each year in the UK. That’s around 33 a day. 4 years ago 67% 2 Votes

- Chosen by Voters The range of the alpha particles in tissue is not sufficient to reach all of the cancer cells around the tumor site. Alpha particles can only penetrate a few tens of microns in tissue. Beta particles have a longer range and provide a better chance of the radiation being able to reach all of the cancerous cells in the tumor margin. 3 years ago 100% 1 Vote

It is a factor of increased risk of breast cancer, but only one. She won't necessarily get it because a lot of other people in her family do- however there is an increased chance.If she's looking after herself, exercising regularly, eating healthy, getting regular checkups, and if she's worried about anything speaking to a doctor, she will lower her risks. And if she's seeing a doctor and he knows her family history, her doctor can make sure she's well informed and check her regularly if she's worried. If anything happens it can be caught early if she's pro-active. Source(s): Life 2 months ago 1 person rated this as good Thanks for the info!

- Chosen by Voters I don't believe there are any but if you contact the American Cancer Society, or Susan G. Koman, they may be able to direct you as to where to call, write etc. Just put the name in the search box and all kinds of different things will come up as long as they pertain to that society. Good luck. Hope you find one. 9 months ago 100% 1 Vote
