Though breast cancer is known to be a more female oriented disease, there are cases where even men encounter breast cancer.
Dr Rashmi Pawar of Aster Medical Centre added, “The chance that breast cancer will be responsible for a woman’s death is about 1 in 36 (about 3%). So it is very crucial that all women undergo screening for the most common cancer that can be treated successfully if detected early.”
Dr Rashmi added, “There are various risk factors which can lead to breast cancer. Some factors are non-modifiable risk factors like gender, aging, genetic risk factors, race and ethnicity, dense breast tissue, certain benign breast conditions, estrogen exposure due to menstrual periods.”
“Then there are modifiable risk factors like not having children, having first child after age 30, use of oral contraceptives, hormone therapy after menopause, not breastfeeding, drinking alcohol, being overweight or obese, no physical activity.
Women who have a close relative who has had breast or ovarian cancer are more likely to develop breast cancer. But the majority of breast cancers are not hereditary.
Women between 20–49 years should undergo a clinical breast exam every three years. For those more than 50 years, clinical breast exam every year and mammography every two years is advised.
“Mammography can help in detecting the cancer even before there are any signs or symptoms shown,” she added. — news@khaleejtimes.com
