Breast cancer is a cancer that starts in the tissues of the breast. There are two main types of breast cancer: Ductal carcinoma starts in the tubes (ducts) that move milk from the breast to the nipple. Most breast cancers are of this type. Lobular carcinoma starts in the parts of the breast, called lobules, that produce milk. In rare cases, breast cancer can start in other areas of the breast.

“Over the course of a lifetime 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer.” Age and gender -- Your risk of developing breast cancer increases as you get older. Women are 100 times more likely to get breast cancer than men. Family history of breast cancer -- You may also have a higher risk for breast cancer if you have a close relative who has had breast, uterine, ovarian, or colon cancer. Menstrual cycle -- Women who got their periods early (before age 12) or went through menopause late (after age 55) have an increased risk for breast cancer. Alcohol use -- Drinking more than 1 - 2 glasses of alcohol a day may increase your risk for breast cancer. Childbirth -- Women who have never had children or who had them only after age 30 have an increased risk for breast cancer. Being pregnant more than once or becoming pregnant at an early age reduces your risk of breast cancer.
14
Early breast cancer usually does not cause symptoms. This is why regular breast exams are important. As the cancer grows, symptoms may include: Breast lump or lump in the armpit that is hard, has uneven edges, and usually does not hurt Change in the size, shape, or feel of the breast or nipple -- for example, you may have redness, dimpling, or puckering that looks like the skin of an orange Fluid coming from the nipple -- may be bloody, clear to yellow, green, and look like pus Men can get breast cancer, too. Symptoms include breast lump and breast pain and tenderness. Symptoms of advanced breast cancer may include: Bone pain Breast pain or discomfort Skin ulcers Swelling of one arm (next to the breast with cancer) Weight loss

Test – Mammography Breast MRI Breast ultrasound Breast biopsy Treatment – Surgery Chemotherapy Radiation

The best advice is to eat a well-balanced diet and avoid focusing on one "cancer-fighting" food. The American Cancer Society's dietary guidelines for cancer prevention recommend that people: Choose foods and portion sizes that promote a healthy weight Choose whole grains instead of refined grain products Eat 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day Limit processed and red meat in the diet Limit alcohol consumption to one drink per day (women who are at high risk for breast cancer should consider not drinking Perform self breast exam
17
Monthly breast self-exams should always include: visual inspection (with and without a mirror) to note any changes in contour or texture; and manual inspection in standing and reclining positions to note any unusual lumps or thicknesses.
