The World Health Organisation says most breast cancers occur in women with no modifiable risk factor apart from being female and over 40 years old. (Envato Elements pic)PETALING JAYA: Breast cancer can feel frightening because no woman can completely control whether it happens. Ageing, family history, genes and reproductive history all play a part.
The World Health Organisation states that most breast cancers occur in women with no modifiable risk factor apart from being female and over 40.
This clearly shows that a breast cancer diagnosis is never a woman’s fault. Yet “not completely preventable” does not mean “nothing you do matters”.
Your daily habits can help lower risk and support overall health.
