4. 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.

5. 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.

7. Causes of Breast Cancer
No one knows the exact causes of breast cancer.
But what we do know is that breast cancer is always caused by
damage to a cell's DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid ).

8. 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

9. 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
Combined Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
60-70% of people with breast cancer have no connection to these risk factors at all, and
other people with risk factors will never develop cancer.
