Women with big breasts are more likely to develop breast cancer? Think more!

Release date: 2017-03-24

In all misunderstandings about breast cancer, there are many questions that are very tangled. For example, whether drinking soy milk will cause breast cancer, whether wearing a bra will increase the risk of cancer, many people now hear that women with large breasts are more likely. Suffering from cancer, it seems that the younger sister is finally relieved. However, experts say that the risk of breast cancer is not reliable according to the size of the breast. At present, there is no conclusive evidence in the medical community to prove this rumor. In the face of an unhealthy lifestyle, breast cancer is equal.

"The main contributor to the difference in breast volume is the fat that many women love and hate, and most breast cancers also occur in the mammary duct system. Like the milk-producing part, fat tissue does not cause cancer. "Wei Weiqi, deputy director of the Breast Cancer Center of Chongqing Cancer Hospital, explained that the size of the chest is not related to cancer. In fact, no matter the big chest and small chest, there is no difference in cancer rate. If you have other high-risk factors, you can get breast cancer regardless of the big chest and small chest.

Therefore, breast size is not a high risk factor for breast cancer. The high risk factors that need to be paid attention to include early menstruation ( less than 12 years old ) or late menopause ( later than 55 years old ) , no birth, late childbirth ( first child after 35 years old ) Or do not breastfeed after birth, the incidence of breast cancer is higher ; people with breast ducts and lobular atypical hyperplasia will increase the risk of breast cancer, but Dr. Wei Weiqi also stressed that lobular atypical hyperplasia is not what we usually say breast hyperplasia; have a family history of breast cancer (breast cancer an immediate family member) women, the risk of breast cancer is two to three times the general population; to accept high levels of ionizing radiation, especially in the chest to accept due to other diseases Women who are exposed to excessive radiation have an increased risk of developing breast cancer ; in addition, a high-fat diet and long-term negative mood can greatly increase the risk of breast cancer.

Can not think that the chest is not easy to get cancer, but will ignore the breast examination, which will eventually lead to delay in the disease. Regardless of whether the chest is big or small, as long as you ignore health, breast cancer will come to you. Not only relying on your own imagination, but also insisting on breast examination is the best way to deal with the disease.

Dr. Wei Weiqi suggested that women should start a breast self-examination every month at the age of 20 , but the light self-test is not enough. Professional clinical examination is also needed. For example, women under the age of 40 need to go every 1-2 years. The hospital did a breast color ultrasound examination ; after the age of 40 , women in the country went to do mammography.

However, if there are high-risk factors, it is okay to start these tests at the age of 35 or older. Usually 40 to 50 years old to do once, 50 to 60 years old to do once a year, but the time interval is at least one year or more, X- ray itself will have some impact on the body, so the interval must be longer.
