Let’s identify the Breast Cancer causes

By Dr Vikas Goswami 

Today, in this blog I am gonna discuss the breast cancer causes. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in India. Breast cells sometimes become abnormal in nature and these abnormal cells multiply and grow creating new cells in the breast. These cells which are malignant in nature can lead to serious health problems and may even be able to cause death. Women often ignore their health and found to be not aware of early signs and symptoms of breast cancer. At this stage we need to educate women around us be it your mother, your wife, your daughter or any other female friend or relative. Please warn them and educate them to take care of themselves.

Here, I have listed few causes of Breast cancer: 

1: Hereditary Factors - In spite of the fact that it has been realized that just 5 to 10 percent of harmful cells are inherited, several cases of ladies suffering from breast cancer have inherited them in the family. Thusly, doctors have decided not to disregard this factor in terms of investigating this disease in wake of finding a successful cure. 

2: Genetic Mutations - Rather than inherited genes, genetic mutations are perceived as one of the significant reasons for this infection. This one can be the result of different environmental variables, for example, radiation exposure, which happens when a lady previously had a treatment or therapy. Those ladies who went through any type of treatment

Awareness is the key to beat cancer

Let’s see some facts first:   

• Worldwide cancer is the leading cause of  death; accounted for 8.2 million deaths as per WHO statistics

• World Cancer Day falls on Febraury 4

Cancer as we all know is the most dangerous disease that has affected people from all over the world. In India, the biggest problem behind the rising number of cancer patients is that the most Indians don't suspect they may have cancer, or simply they IGNORE the warning signals. But, thankfully, today with the advancement in medical sciences and commitment from researchers and doctors, superior treatments have been developed resulting in success stories. 

Your lifestyle habits especially your diet as in what you eat plays a multitude of roles in the development of cancer. The first is exposure to ingested substances that initiate cancer (carcinogens). The second is exposure to substances in the diet that can either enhance or inhibit the growth of the cancerous cells. These include compounds that influence our immune system as well as those that have a direct effect on cancer cells 

According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) which is part of the US Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS), every 13th new cancer patient in the world is an Indian. India is also witnessing a steep rise in cancer cases and significantly, more and more people are falling prey to this life threatening disease.
