Understanding Breast Cancer Risks - Genetic, Hormonal, and Lifestyle Factors | Dr Anvesh Dharanikota

Dr Anvesh Dharanikota, HOD – Surgical Oncology, Arete Hospitals, Gachibowli, Hyderabad speaks about the risk factors associated with breast cancer by focusing on genetic, hormonal, and lifestyle aspects of the condition. In his view, those with a tendency of breast cancer in the family should especially be always on the lookout. He details how some life choices and hormones can be of risk.

Risk Evaluation in Breast Cancer  
1. Heredity and Family History 
There is a worrying trend where breast cancer occurrences have been on the rise, anomalies of this kind can frequently be associated with a family link or its hereditary aspect. Those who have close relatives, say if a mother or sister/parent, has developed breast cancer, their risk of developing this condition gets increased that much. He advocates for self-monitoring and strict routine breast examinations.

2. Hormonal Factors and Breast Cancer
Another risk factor associated with breast cancer is that certain women also carry the gene known to increase one’s chances of developing the disease and that is passed down through the generations. The doctor states that having an early menarche (first period) and delayed menopause may also be leading risk factors. Those who have not had children or have not breastfed their children, and those who use Hormonal Replacement Therapy after menopause are at risk since they are likely to have had longer exposure to oestrogen which could heighten the prospects for breast cancer.

3. Nutrition and Activities that May Contribute to the Development of Breast Cancer
Obesity and overweight people are at risk of developing the condition along with other things such as eating junk and fatty foods and drinking excessive amounts of alcohol.

The doctor notes that such lifestyles, combined with a static lifestyle and absence of exercise, habitually lead to obesity and in turn, increase the chances of developing breast cancer. He recommends that balanced meals and frequent opportunities for the same be incorporated to reduce these threats.
