Objective aspects of the origin of the disease, unfortunately, a lot. Risk factors are not asleep, and sometimes make themselves felt. But which of them would be an agent provocateur for the individual woman is difficult to predict.
On health is not the best way affects the environment, heavy genetic inheritance and the influence of hormones. They have the meanings as those produced by the body of women, and others who come in the composition of medicines.
Early onset of menstruation - up to 12 years increases the risk of breast cancer, and later - after 14 years, respectively, decreases. The greater the number of menstrual cycles a woman's life, the greater the risk of malignancies. So, early menopause - 40-45 years - reduces risks, and later - after 55 years - increases.
Separately want to talk about the rhythm of life of the fair sex. It seems to be "rational" solution to many of the fair sex on his feet and make a career - a huge minus for their health. Since the time of the first pregnancy and childbirth - another marker relied on doctors, diagnosing illness. The first deliveries of up to 25 years - are beneficial, reducing the risk of cancer, and later - after 35 years - increase.
Is there a relationship between hormonal OK and the development of the disease?
In medical practice were really hormonal contraceptives that could contribute to the development of cancer. But their time has already passed, now they are not used. OK the new generation are so small doses of hormones, even reduce the risks of origin of certain types of cancer - cancer of the uterus, breast and ovarian cancer. But, nevertheless, everything is OK should appoint only competent doctor, and follow the instructions of the drug at the same time is not even discussed.
Today, hormone replacement therapy is gaining momentum as a way to stay longer young, healthy and beautiful. Applying it started back in the 90s, and, of course, has its positive results - the prevention of cardiovascular problems, many diseases "old age", osteoporosis. But the potential benefits of this therapy significantly less than the risk faced by the female body while using it. Research involving more than four million women have shown an artificial hormone replacement increases the likelihood of breast cancer. Be careful!

At the end of treatment for the patient is monitored for five years in order to detect possible relapse. But the more time passes, the less the likelihood of recurrence sad scenario. With regard to the recovery in other stages of cancer, such predictions can only physician.
How to detect tumors at an early stage?
The process of formation of breast cancer between the ages of 11-13 years, during this time the girl has to occur in adolescence office. Whether it is normal breast development takes place determines the pediatrician.
Then 17 years old when cancer is usually already formed, the girl must currently carry a monthly breast exam. The most convenient place and time - the shower, for 6-8 days after menstruation.
