3. What is Breast Cancer ?
Cancer starts when cells begin to grow out of control. Cells in nearly
any part of the body can become cancer, and can spread to other
areas of the body.
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that starts in the cells of the
breast.
A malignant tumor is a group of cancer cells that can grow into
(invade) surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas
of the body. The disease occurs almost entirely in women, but men
can get it, too.

4. Female Breast Anatomy
• The breasts sit on the chest muscles that
cover the ribs.
• Each breast is made of 15 to 20 lobes.
• Lobes contain many smaller lobules.
• Lobules contain groups of tiny glands that
can produce milk.
• Milk flows from the lobules through thin
tubes called ducts to the nipple.
• The nipple is in the center of a dark area of
skin called the areola.
• Fat fills the spaces between the lobules
and ducts.

But hat we do know is that breast cancer is always caused by

7. Genetic
Risk Factors for Breast Cancer
Gender: Breast cancer occurs nearly 100 times more often in women than in men.
Race: more common in whites
Age: increases as a woman gets older.
Family History and Genetic Factors : If your mother, sister, father or child has been diagnosed with
breast or ovarian cancer, you have a higher risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer in the future.
Personal Health History : If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer in one breast, you have an
increased risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer in the other breast in the future
Menstrual and Reproductive History : Early menstruation (before age 12), late menopause (after 55),
Childbirth: having your first child at an older age, or never having given birth can also increase your risk for
breast cancer.
Hormones: estrogens in Hormone replacement therapy & Birth control pills
Genetics : certain conditions that are inheritated

8. Environmental And Lifestyle
Risk Factors for Breast Cancer
Lack of Physical Activity : A sedentary lifestyle with little physical activity can increase your risk for
breast cancer. Stress
Poor Diet: A diet high in saturated fat and lacking fruits and vegetables can increase your risk for breast
cancer.
Radiation Exposure
Being Overweight or Obese : Being overweight or obese can increase your risk for breast cancer.
Drinking Alcohol
