The best approach is to avoid as many risk factors as possible while increasing protective factors.
Doctors and scientists do not know why one person gets cancer and another one does not. Review the following “proven” risk factors that may increase the chance of getting breast cancer:
Estrogen: Being exposed to estrogen over a long time may increase the risk. This increased exposure occurs in the following ways:

Everything we eat, do and think about has an impact on our health.

The group is emphasizing the need to control our thirst for liquor and beer, especially among women, and food that may eventually post health hazards in the future. It was found that women consuming moderate amounts of alcohol may increase their risk of breast cancer. Comparing… Continue reading

There was… Continue reading

When it comes to oncology, there is no other area more controversial than the relationship between diet and cancer.

In a Nurses Healthy Study, 1,982 women ho… Continue reading

One of the biggest killers specifically for men is prostate cancer, and as such, a great deal of resource has been carried out on this topic.

The American Cancer Society estimated that approximately 15,280 women died from ovarian cancer in the United States during 2007. Ovarian cancer ranks fifth among cancers in women, and accounts for more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system. Part of the reason for ovarian cancer’s high mortality rate is the difficulty in diagnosing a disease with few warning signs.

Like any cancer, the sooner ovarian… Continue reading
