How Do You Know If You Are in a High Risk For Breast Cancer?

Many women are worried that they might get breast cancer, and who can blame them, it is a scary thing. Not to mention as very personal issue and a big emotional one. But how can women really know what their risk is to getting breast cancer? Is there any way to predict this? What about age, nationality, diet, ethnic origin or genetic displacement?

Breast cancer is more prevalent in American and European women than with Japanese women for some reason, although many demographic researchers believe that might change in the future as more of the American and European culture enters the Japanese lifestyle. Other than that statistic there are no real sizable statistical difference between ethnic categories and cancer of the breast.

However, there are risks associated with economic class, if a woman is wealthy and consumes a rich diet, she is more likely to get breast cancer. Luckily, for wealthy individuals do tend to have better access to the very best medical treatment and breast cancer caught early is treatable and the percentages of survival when caught soon enough are Extremely good.

Many studies show that women with rich diets have a greater chance of breast cancer, also women that have rich diets and are single, unmarried and/or childless. Of course, the biggest single indication that puts women into a high-risk breast cancer is if they have a mother, aunt and/or sisters that have had or do have breast cancer. If this is the case a woman should increase her frequency of check-ups and definitely mention this to her doctor.
