There are several risk factors for breast cancer, including:
– Being a woman
– Getting older
– Inherited genetic mutations, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2
– Family history of breast or ovarian cancer
– Personal history of breast cancer or certain non-cancerous breast diseases
– Hormonal changes
– Lifestyle, including excess alcohol consumption
– Environmental factors, including exposure to radiation
– Obesity and being overweight
– Menarche: having periods at a younger age and menopause at an older age
– Pregnancy: Becoming pregnant at an older age or never being pregnant
– Hormone use, including long-term contraceptive use or postmenopausal hormone therapy
It is important to note that having one or more risk factors does not mean that you will develop breast cancer. Also, some people who have no known risk factors may still develop the disease. If you have breast cancer risk factors, talk with your doctor about ways you can lower your risk and about screening for breast cancer.
