Risk Factors for Breast Cancer Explained

Breast cancer risk factors fall into two main categories: non-modifiable and modifiable. Non-modifiable risk factors include genetics and family history, particularly if close relatives have had breast cancer. Other non-changeable factors are age and early menstruation or late menopause, both linked to prolonged estrogen exposure. Modifiable risk factors are lifestyle choices such as alcohol consumption, obesity, and hormone intake, which can impact breast cancer risk significantly. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and understanding these risk factors can help in early intervention and potentially lower breast cancer risk. In this informative session, Dr. Akshita Singh, Consultant - Breast Cancer Surgeon at Narayana Health City, Bangalore, discusses in detail these breast cancer risk factors. She emphasizes the importance of awareness, regular check-ups, and leading a healthier lifestyle to mitigate some of these modifiable risks. With breast cancer awareness on the rise, Dr. Singh provides insight into the latest guidelines and tips for lifestyle adjustments that may reduce risk factors.
