Breast Cancer is a complex disease that affects millions of women worldwide. Understanding this disease is crucial to prevention, early detection, and effective treatment. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, 1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. In 2023, an estimated 297,790 women and 2,800 men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. <\/span><\/p>\n

Breast cancer can be influenced by various risk factors such as age, family history, genetic mutations, and hormonal factors. According to the CDC, most breast cancers are found in women 50 years or older. However, some women will get breast cancer even without any other risk factors that they know of. Having a risk factor does not mean you will get breast cancer, and not all risk factors have similar effects on your body. Engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol consumption are effective preventive strategies. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is essential for women to undergo regular screenings, such as mammograms, as early detection significantly improves the chances of successful treatment. Common symptoms of breast cancer include the presence of a lump in the breast or armpit, changes in breast size or shape, nipple changes or discharge, and persistent breast pain. If any of them symptoms occur, a thorough diagnostic process is essential, which may involve physical examination, mammography, or biopsy. Regular screening through mammograms is encouraged, especially for women over the age of 40 or those with increased risk factors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Breast Cancer continues to impact the world on a great scale. Through education and knowledge, we can empower individuals to take proactive measures, such as regular screenings and adopting a healthy lifestyle, to reduce the impact of breast cancer. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
