Importance of other risk factors to be considered for detection of breast
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Breast cancer risk factors include dense breast tissue with a larger percentage of fibrous tissue than fat. Dense breast tissue also makes it more challenging to detect cancer on mammography. Many states have passed legislation requiring mammograms to notify women with thick breasts so they

Obesity might increase breast cancer risk in women with BRCA mutations
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
According to a new multi-institutional translational study headed by Weill Cornell Medical experts, obesity may cause DNA damage in the breast tissue of women who have BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, potentially adding to breast cancer development in an already high-risk group.

Study finds women over 50 with specific mutations are at higher risk of ca
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Women who have BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic abnormalities continue to have a significant chance of developing cancer after age 50, even if they have never been diagnosed with the disease. This is true even though these mutations are linked to a younger beginning of breast and ovarian cancer

Study finds how Error-prone DNA lead to BRCA1 related cancer
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Researchers have identified that people who inherit a faulty copy of the BRCA1 gene may develop mutations and cancer due to error-prone DNA replication and repair. When these individuals' cells are under stress, replication of the normal BRCA1 gene stalls because of the highly repetitive DNA

Risk of breast cancer increases by chemicals found in consumer products
Updated : 4 years, 7 months ago IST
Washington [US], July 24 (ANI): Common chemicals including ingredients in consumer products, pesticides, food additives, and drinking water contaminants cause cells in breast tissue to produce more of the hormones estrogen or progesterone, leading to an increased risk of breast cancer.
