6 Facts About How Breast Cancer does not Depend on Age
4. Race too plays a role in the incidence of breast cancer among women
Research has shown that white women are more likely to suffer from breast cancer than women from African-American, Asian, Mexican and Native American backgrounds.
5. DES
DES or diethylstilbestrol, a drug given to women between the 1940’s and 70’s to prevent miscarriage is also known to increase the rate of breast cancer among women who took it.
6. Menopausal history
If a woman had her menstrual period before turning 12 or had her menopause after 55 also has an increased chance of getting breast cancer. Hormones and medicine taken to set your periods straight can also play a role.
A whole lot of factors including your lifestyle go into determining how and when you get breast cancer and advanced age is not the only culprit.
