Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in women worldwide. The number of breast cancer patients in Bangladesh is increasing day by day. According to the National Cancer Research Institute, more than 1.5 lakh people are getting cancer in the country every year. More than 98% of them are women, but very few men are diagnosed with breast cancer. About seven thousand people die of this disease every year in Bangladesh. Breast cancer is a terrible disease for women. The number of people infected with this disease is increasing day by day in our country. The main reason for this is carelessness and ignorance about breast cancer.

Female
Women have a higher risk of breast cancer than men.
Age
As you grow older, your risk of breast cancer increases. Older women, especially those over the age of 55, are at higher risk of developing breast cancer than younger women.
If previously infected
If someone has had cancer in one breast before, they are more likely to get cancer in another.
Family history
If someone’s mother, sister or daughter has breast cancer, their risk of breast cancer is many times higher. However, most people who have been diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history.
Radioactivity
If a child or young adult is treated with radiation, he or she is more likely to develop breast cancer later in life.
Obesity
Being overweight (or obese) increases the risk of breast cancer. Fat produces the hormone estrogen, which acts as a fuel for cancer.
Early menstruation
Menstruation before the age of 12 increases the risk of breast cancer.
Late menopause
If menopause occurs after the age of 55, it can lead to the development of breast cancer.
Late pregnancy
If a woman gives birth to her first child after the age of 35, her risk of breast cancer increases.
Hormone therapy
Women who take hormone treatment with estrogen and progesterone for the signs and symptoms of menstruation have a higher risk of breast cancer.
Drinking
Excessive alcohol consumption increases the risk of breast cancer. If there is any risk, women should be careful and get regular breast examination.
