Default Re: What happens in the screening test for breast cancer?

Hi friend,
What causes breast cancer? There are some risk factors for breast cancer that cannot be prevented by lifestyle changes. These risk factors include experiencing an early menstrual period or entering menopause a later age than the average woman. Age plays an important factor in developing breast cancer, as someone over 50 years of age, would be more likely to be diagnosed. Even though it is possible for a man to be diagnosed with breast cancer, it is more common in women. Within the last decade, it has been shown that genetics and family history have played an important risk factor in developing breast cancer.
