Although breast cancer is a very common disease, getting the disease from genetics is very rare and rare. Of all breast cancers, hereditary breast cancer has been shown to account for only 5-10% of all breast cancer cases. Although breast cancer passed from parent to child is very rare, there are other ways this genetic disease can develop. Constantly, studies and research continue to reveal people's daily habits and lifestyle factors that can increase or decrease their risk of breast cancer. Specific studies are examining the effects of diet, exercise and weight change (gain or loss) and the effects of these on breast cancer. Research is also addressing the environment that can cause breast cancer disease. The average type of breast cancer, or the most common breast cancer, is associated only with genetic changes that occur in breast cells throughout life. These changes are called somatic mutations. Breast cancer develops from breast cells. Cancer most commonly begins in the inner lining of the lobules, which supply milk to the breast, or in the milk ducts. Unfortunately, a malignant tumor is capable of spreading to other parts of the body. A malignant tumor is a cancerous tumor. They are made up of cells that grow out of control. Malignant tumors can invade nearby tissues and spread to other areas of the body. A breast cancer that starts in the lobules is called lobular carcinoma, while a breast cancer that starts in the milk ducts is called ductal carcinoma. In non-hereditary breast cancer, there are a number of factors that can contribute to a person getting breast cancer. The first risk factor is age. Women over the age of sixty are more likely to get breast cancer. In fact, ... middle of paper ... helps eliminate the possibility of the cancer returning. The third treatment option is chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is a treatment that includes drugs and medicines that help kill cancer. The drugs are injected into a vein or taken orally in pill form. Chemotherapy is given in cycles. The drugs try to shrink and destroy cancer cells. The fifth treatment option is targeted therapy. Targeted therapy is the use of drugs that target specific genetic changes in cells that cause cancer. The final treatment option is hormone therapy. Hormone therapy is often used to reduce the risk of the cancer returning and recurring. It can also be used to treat recurrent cancer that has come back after treatment. Breast cancer is a very deadly disease and deserves maximum effort in research and discovery of new and improved ways to treat the disease.
