The first risk factor is overweight. As the doctor explained, adipose tissue deposits estrogen, a hormone, the excess of which can become a cancerogen in some cases.
“The first factor, overweight, is very important. It is well known that adipose tissue deposits estrogens, and according to a number of articles, even produces them. This is a female hormone, which must be in a certain amount, and its excess leads to the fact that in some percent of cases it becomes a cancerogen. Therefore, excess adipose tissue is undesirable. I do not advise you to go on some crazy diets, limit yourself to everything. In my opinion, this is wrong. No need to feel miserable. In this life, one must always feel happy, but have a sense of proportion, limit oneself in food. Eat everything you love even sweet, even bread, even a little cake in the morning.
The second risk factor is psycho-emotional instability, stressful or acute situations. They can be very different and complex. They are also very harmful, as they immediately change the hormonal balance. Stressful situations change everything in the body, and an error occurs. The solution is to learn to find psycho-emotional balance, do not dramatize any events that you cannot handle, accept them for what they are and find some way.
A very important risk is a hereditary factor. It is necessary to pass an analysis of mutation of genes responsible for the antitumor protein. If there is no mutation, this protein is produced in enough quantities and the risk of getting sick is less. If mutation is present, we know that the gene has two copies, which means that one copy does not work, and this protein becomes half as much. It gives 80% of risk. One way is to remove the mammary glands. The second way is to treat with drugs.”
According to Rozhkova, there are indicators that cannot be influenced.
“There are factors that we cannot fight with, for example, female gender. Women get cancer more often, and men make around 1% of all types of breast cancer. Cancer develops more often at the age over 40, and we cannot fight with age either. Ecology and general environment, which we cannot influence on, but there are factors which we can fight with.”
