Can you list two risk factors of breast cancer?

1 answer

Certainly! Two known risk factors for breast cancer are:

  1. Age: The risk of developing breast cancer increases as a person gets older, with most cases diagnosed in women over the age of 50.

  2. Family History: Having a close relative (such as a mother, sister, or daughter) who has had breast cancer can increase a person's risk, especially if the relative was diagnosed at a young age or if there are multiple cases in the family.

Other factors may also contribute, but these two are significant in assessing breast cancer risk.
