Malignant cells show up almost completly randomly, allthough it is more common in families that have had it before. It will usually occour sometime after ages 25 and is most common in women. Although Breast cancer is the most common type, it is also the easiest to treat and considering the number of people with it has one of the highest rates of survival

In fact only a very small number of breast cancer cases(5-10%) are due to inherited factors. For most people, increasing age is the greatest risk factor. Most cases (approximately 80%) of breast cancers occur in post-menopausal women (women aged over 50 years). Other known risk factors for breast cancer are: Having children at at an older age or not at all. The more children a woman has may also slightly lower her risk. Breast-feeding helps protect against the disease. The longer a woman breast feeds her children, the more she lowers her risk. Starting periods at a younger than average age (under 12) or having a late menopause (after 55) . Taking the contraceptive pill or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) causes a small increase in risk. However, the risk gradually returns to normal after you stop taking them. Being overweight (especially after the menopause). Regularly drinking more than 1 unit of alcohol per day slightly increases the risk of breast cancer. Having a previous diagnosis of breast cancer increases the risk of developing a new cancer in the other breast. These are only risk factors though, and by no means everyone who ticks one or even all boxes will develop breast cancer. Breast cancer causes more than 12,500 deaths each year in the UK. That’s around 33 a day.
