Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
In recent times the incidence of tumors of breast is quite alarming all over the world. In 2012, nearly 1.7 million new cases of breast cancer is reported worldwide. The occurrence of breast tumors is considered to be due to very many risk factors. Based on epidemiological data, risk factors for breast cancer fall in 3 main groups: Genetic, endocrine and environmental. Each may be of major, intermediate or minor importance. Major risk factors include 1. Female gender 2. Increasing age 3. History of previous breast cancer 4. Family history 5. Genetic factors (mutation of BRCA 1 or BRLA 2), appear to account for over half of all the identifiable breast cancer families.(1) Intermediate risk factors include alcohol, diet, nulliparity, early menarche, late menopause, oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapies, benign proliferative breast disease, irradiation etc.
