Globally, Breast Cancer is mostly detecting in women’s due to family history, obesity, irregular menstruation, intake of alcohol/tobacco, etc. When uncontrollable grow of cells in breast which turns into cancer, occur at lobules or duct of breast. Various indications are seen like – appearance of lumps, swelling, size & color of breast is change, unusual discharge, etc. Breast cancer can be diagnosis by oneself by doing some physical activity and by advance modern technology can help to detect the cancerous cells. Mammography and Sonography is the initial diagnosing method to detect the cancer cells without any incision or inserting tools into the breast. Doctors or trained healthcare observe the tumor i.e. it’s benign or malignant after that screening model is use to confirmation of the tumor.

Breast Cancer is the commonest maligrancy in woment. A study was carried out in the Department of Biochemistry, Dhaka Medical College to investigate some of the biochemical features that are associated with breast cancer occurring in Bangladeshi women. Thirty diagnosed breast cancer patients and thirty healthy women were selected. A questionnaire was used for collecting information regarding age, family history, physical activity and exercise, BMI, diet, smoking, alcohol abuse, addiction, details of menstrual and obstetric history, breast-feeding, parity, use of contraceptives and HRT. Blood samples were collected and tested for fasting lipid profiles, serum estrogen and progesterone. The study has revealed that high levels of serum total cholesterol (P<0.05), TAG (P<0.05), LDL-C (P<0.05) and low level of serum and HDL-C (P<0.05) were found to be associated with breast cancer. The study further reveals that blood levels of estrogen (P<0.05) and progesterone (P<0.05) were found to be lower than that of the controls.

Background: In Cameroon, one third of breast cancers concern women less than 40 of age and young age appeared to be an independent predictor of adverse outcome. This study aimed to determine factors associated with the development of breast cancer before the age of 40 in Yaoundé.Methods: A case-control study was conducted for 7 months, from November 1st, 2016 to May 31st, 2017 at the General Hospital and the gyneco-obstetric and Paediatric Hospital of Yaoundé. Study compared the socio-demographic, clinical and lifestyle data of 50 women less than 40 of age with breast cancer (cases) with those of 200 women below 40 of age without breast cancer (controls). Descriptive statistics, bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were performed to assess the socio-demographic, clinical and lifestyle data. Data were computed using the SPSS version 23.0 software. The significance threshold value was set at 0.05.Results: After multivariate analysis, the factors independently associated with the occurrence of breast cancer before the age of 40 were: age ≥ 30 (aOR = 2.05); family history of breast cancer (aOR = 8.65); parity ≥ 1 (aOR = 2.46); breastfeeding (aOR = 3.39); waist circumference ≥ 88 centimeters (cm) (aOR = 4.38); breast density ≥ 90                      (aOR = 2.89); physical activity ≤ 3 hours/week (aOR = 4.78). Conclusions: Breast cancer in women under 40 is associated with family history, reproductive life and women's lifestyles.  Breastfeeding more than 12 months, having a balanced diet, supplementary screening tests in women with dense breasts and practicing physical activity; would be  effective ways to prevent it in young women.

Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and second most common cause of cancer death in US women. Family history and genetics are well-known BC risk factors, but they only account for 15–20% of BC cases. Therefore, in addition to family history, healthcare providers must consider a woman’s modifiable and nonmodifiable personal risk factors that are associated with an increase in BC risk. The World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research estimate that 30% of BC cases in the US are preventable. Lifestyle education is imperative given the magnitude of BC occurrence. Evidence supports prevention as an effective, long-term strategy for reducing risk. Healthcare providers are key stakeholders in empowering patients to adopt a healthy lifestyle for primary BC prevention. In this paper, we review the available evidence on modifiable BC risk including weight management, nutrition, physical activity, alcohol and tobacco use and provide strategies to counsel patients on lifestyle modifications.

Summary Objectives: Epidemiological evidence suggests an inverse association between physical activity (PA) and postmenopausal breast cancer risk. Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease, influenced by reproductive factors, lifestyle pattern, and predispositions. We investigated whether these risk factors modify the effect of PA on breast cancer risk. Methods: We analyzed data from 2004 hormone-receptor-positive postmenopausal breast cancer cases and 6569 controls from the population-based MARIE study conducted 2002–2005 in Germany. Interaction was statistically tested using adjusted unconditional logistic regression models. Results: The inverse association between leisure-time PA and risk of postmenopausal hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer was not heterogeneous by family history of breast cancer or by hormone therapy. PA showed a significant interaction with benign breast diseases (p = 0.023) and with breastfeeding (p = 0.045) but not with parity (p = 0.94), with clear risk reductions only for women who ever had breastfed or who ever had a benign breast disease (among ever breastfed: odds ratio = 0.63; 95% confidence interval = (0.52, 0.77), highest vs. lowest PA quartile). Interaction with BMI was weak (p = 0.053). Conclusions: Breastfeeding and benign breast diseases modified the effect of PA on postmenopausal breast cancer risk. If other studies find similar modifications, increasing knowledge about these risk factors may contribute to a better understanding of the mode of action of PA on breast cancer risk. For women who are at higher risk for breast cancer due to family history or due to hormone therapy use, it is encouraging that they might lower their risk by being physically active.
