According to the "Hong Kong Breast Cancer Facts Report No. 13", breast cancer patients are most likely to be diagnosed between the ages of 40 and 59, and they all share common risk factors: they do not exercise enough, exercise less than 3 hours a week, and being obese or overweight increases the risk of developing the disease. In addition, women who have never breastfed and often feel great psychological pressure are also high-risk groups. Breast cancer is also related to genetic factors. If someone in the family has breast cancer, you should discuss with your doctor whether you need to receive routine checkups earlier to avoid delayed detection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are myths about breast cancer in the market. It is said that the bigger the breast, the higher the chance of getting cancer. In fact, men also have the chance to get breast cancer. It can be seen that there is no direct relationship between breast size and the risk of getting cancer. However, women with fuller breasts may have a harder time detecting tumors with self-breast exams. The author repeatedly emphasizes that women should conduct self-breast examinations every month. Once suspicious lumps are found, they need to consult a doctor as soon as possible to arrange detailed examinations (such as breast ultrasound examination or mammography examination) in order to diagnose whether the lumps are malignant or common benign lumps such as breast cysts and fibroids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because the symptoms of breast cancer patients in the early stage are not obvious, it is difficult to detect without regular checkups. In many cases, it is not discovered until the cancer has expanded to the second stage. The research report shows that less than a quarter of patients over the age of 40 have the habit of regularly receiving mammography examinations or breast ultrasound examinations, and even 60% of the respondents have never received relevant examinations before they are diagnosed. In fact, breast cancer is not an incurable disease, and the number of stages of breast cancer will also affect the survival rate of female breast cancer. If precancerous lesions can be detected early, the survival rate will be higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortunately, in recent years, the public\u2019s awareness of breast cancer prevention has increased. In addition to paying attention to healthy diet, regular self-examination of breasts and routine gynecological examinations, combined with good living habits, weight control and stress relief, are simple and effective prevention methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
