The relationship between breast size and breast cancer.

The relationship between breast size and breast cancer.

In the perception of many, there seems to be a view that breast cancer is more likely to be breast cancer, but is that true?

In fact, breast size is not in itself a key factor in determining the incidence of breast cancer. The incidence of breast cancer is a complex, multifactorial process closely linked to a variety of internal and external factors.

In terms of the biological structure of the breasts, they consist mainly of mammograms, fat tissues and conjunctive tissues. The breast tissue is the part where breast cancer can occur, regardless of the size of the breast. Women with large breasts may only have relatively more fatty tissues, which themselves do not directly cause breast cancer. For example, women with large bodies and large breasts are not affected by other carcinogenic factors if they are healthy and do not suffer from breast cancer because of their size.

There are many factors that really affect the incidence of breast cancer. The first is the genetic factor, and if there is a genetic history of breast cancer in the family, the risk of individual breast cancer increases significantly. For example, women carrying the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations can have up to 50 per cent – 80 per cent of the lifetime risk of breast cancer.

Second, lifestyles also play an important role. Long-term high-fat, sugary, high-heat diets, lack of exercise, excessive alcohol consumption and bad life habits such as smoking can lead to an imbalance in hormonal levels in the body, thus increasing the risk of breast cancer. The risk of breast cancer among a woman who sits on a regular basis, loves fried food and does not exercise, regardless of her breast size, increases as a result of these negative lifestyles.

Moreover, the reproductive history of women is relevant. Late childbearing, unbirth or non-feeding after childbirth can lead to long periods of unstimulated or unprotected mammography and can increase the likelihood of breast cancer.

In addition, prolonged periods of excessive stress can affect the endocrine system in the human body and cause hormonal disruption, which is also a potential risk factor for breast cancer.

Thus, it cannot simply be assumed that the greater the breast, the higher the risk of breast cancer. We should focus on the important factors that are really associated with the incidence of breast cancer and reduce the risk of breast cancer by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as a reasonable diet, a proper level of exercise, regular childbirth and breastfeeding, and emotional stress relief, rather than focusing on the marginal factor of breast size.
