Breast cancer likes "this type of breasts" the most! These 5 types of people should be careful!

Breast cancer is not age-specific. Breast structure and lifestyle are key factors. Everyone may develop breast cancer, but this disease does not attack indiscriminately. In fact, breast cancer also has a preferred location for growth. In foreign countries, breast cancer usually occurs between the ages of 55 and 65, but in my country, this age group has moved forward to 45 to 55 years old. In addition, the lack of awareness of breast cancer gives cancer an opportunity to take advantage.

Cancer predilection: associations between breast characteristics and lifestyle

Compared with Western countries, "Chinese-style" breast cancer has three significant characteristics: early onset, late diagnosis, and higher incidence in large cities. In addition, breast cancer prefers people with high breast density, because in this type of breast, cancer is easier to hide and difficult to detect. Therefore, early detection requires a combination of detailed medical history, standardized physical examination, and ultrasound or breast MRI.

Lifestyle influences: estrogen levels and cancer risk

High or abnormal estrogen levels in the body are one of the causes of breast cancer. Women who have early menarche, late menopause, are childless or not breastfeeding, and those whose hormone levels change due to obesity, hormone therapy, or breast disease, all increase their risk of cancer. Bad lifestyle habits such as alcoholism, smoking, and excessive exposure to radiation also increase the risk of cancer.

Men also need to be vigilant: Breast cancer is no longer rare

Although male breast cancer is rare, its incidence is increasing year by year. Risk factors for male breast cancer include age, race, family history, gene mutations, and radiation exposure. Typical symptoms include a painless lump behind the areola, nipple retraction and bleeding, and a palpable lump in the armpit.

For the prevention of breast cancer, timely screening is very important. Both men and women should undergo regular breast cancer screening to detect lesions early and treat them in time to avoid the trouble of the disease.
