| - | The exact aetiology of breast cancer is unknown; however, what scientists know for sure is that it is caused by some damage to a cell’s DNA (National Breast Cancer, 2016). It is also known that there are certain risk factors that make some women more likely than others to develop breast cancer. Many of these factors can be controlled, such as a person’s diet and whether or not they smoke and/or consume high levels of alcohol. Consuming a diet high in fats, especially trans fats can induce breast cancer in some individuals, as they promote free radicals that can damage DNA and mutate cells (Farvid et al., 2016). It is beneficial for individuals to increase their fibre intake, as fibre is shown to decrease estrogen levels in the blood (Farvid et al., 2016). Estrogen is shown to facilitate cell proliferation and can aid in the spreading of cancerous cells if it binds to a mutated cell receptor (Kaczmarczyk, 2015). Thus, having high levels of estrogen is not beneficial. | + | The exact aetiology of breast cancer is unknown; however, what scientists know for sure is that it is caused by some damage to a cell’s DNA (National Breast Cancer, 2016).

| - | It is also essential for individuals that smoke to change their habits. Smoking does not only damage an individual’s lungs but it also increases blood clot risks when taking exogenous hormones (Breast Cancer, 2014). As well, smoking cigarettes are seen to cause high levels of toxic material accumulation in the breast tissue. A study by Gaudet et al. assessed the effects of tobacco smoke in lab rodents and found that at least 20 lipophilic chemical compounds contained in cigarettes induced tumours in mammary adipose tissues (2013). | + | It is also essential for individuals that smoke to change their smoking habits.

| - | In terms of alcohol consumption, although higher intakes are seen to be associated with increased risk of breast cancer, studies have shown that an individual consuming a moderate intake of alcohol before and/or after diagnosis experienced better survival than non-drinkers (Newcomb, 2013). Yet, alcohol consumption and breast cancer observations are varied in each study; in some studies, the risk of breast cancer from consuming about two or more drinks per day (>24g) compared to non-drinkers is higher; a lighter alcohol intake is associated with a weaker risk of breast cancer, and moderate and heavy drinking both contribute to greater risks of developing the disease than that of non-drinkers (Longnecker, 1988). In this way, comparing studies regarding alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk show inconclusive results. | + | In terms of alcohol consumption, although higher intakes are seen to be associated with increased risk of breast cancer, studies have shown that an individual consuming a moderate intake of alcohol before and/or after diagnosis experienced better survival than non-drinkers (Newcomb, 2013).

| - | Furthermore, women that are taking hormones or using contraceptives like birth control put themselves at a higher risk of developing breast cancer than non-users (Chlebowski, 2009). Exogenous hormones that can be taken include progesterone and estrogen; where estrogen can be taken by itself or together with progesterone or progestin (a synthetic hormone that mimics effects of progesterone) (Kaczmarczyk, 2015). These hormones are similar but not exactly the same in chemical composition to the hormones an individual produces naturally, thus different users have different side effects. Some studies have shown that women taking hormones like these had a higher chance of developing breast cancer than women that are not using this form of treatment as it increases estrogen levels in the body (Chlebowski, 2008). | + | Furthermore, women that are taking hormones or using contraceptives like birth control put themselves at a higher risk of developing breast cancer than non-users (Chlebowski, 2009).

| - | Unfortunately, some risk factors cannot be controlled, such as an individual’s age, including the age at which they get their first menstruation and the age they reached menopause. Girls that reach menarche at a young age (<12 years old), and women that reach menopause at a late age (>55 years old) are at higher risk of developing the disease as they produce more estrogen during their lifespan (National Breast Cancer, 2016). Genetics plays a role as well, as mutations in some genes are known to predispose an individual to breast cancer. These include BRCA1 and BRCA2 (Breast cancer gene 1 and 2 respectively), and they put carriers at a 65-85% chance of developing breast cancer by the age of 70 (da Silva, 2015). | + | Unfortunately, some risk factors cannot be controlled, such as an individual’s age.

| - | Similarly, individuals with a history of breast cancer, higher endogenous sex hormone levels, as well as more environmental exposure to carcinogens also have a higher risk of developing the disease. Environmental carcinogen exposure may play a role in breast cancer development as breast anatomy makes them a susceptible target for chemical carcinogens (Li, 1996). A study by Li et al. showed that the total aromatic DNA adduct levels are higher in adjacent tissues of breast cancer patients (individuals with 100% risk of having breast cancer) than are the levels in normal breast tissue of participants without the disease (Li, 1996). Thus, all these risk factors contribute in increasing the likelihood of some individuals getting breast cancer over others. | + | Similarly, individuals with a history of breast cancer, higher endogenous sex hormone levels, as well as more environmental exposure to carcinogens also have a higher risk of developing the disease.
