mean that even if you are not in a high risk category, you will
not develop breast cancer. Actually even men can develop
breast cancer so they are not even safe. Also remember that
just because you have factors that make you a higher risk does

can do is just be aware of breast cancer and its symptoms,
prevention and how to look for it.

is no different. As you get older the risk of getting breast cancer
gets greater. Your risk get higher over the age of 40 and then
even higher over the age of 50.

in the past. If this is the case your chance of developing breast
cancer will increase. Research indicates that women with
atypical hyperplasia have a higher risk as well.

chance of getting this type of cancer. There are some other
factors that can increase your chances as well. These include
your diet, smoking and even lack of exercise. Some of the
additional factors that increase the risk include distant family
history of the condition, first childbirth after the age of 35,
menstruation before the age of 12 and menopause after the
age of 55. It has been suggested that being overweight and

aware of breast cancer and ensure that you take preventative
measures to help you avoid it or find it early so that it can be
