3 ways to prevent, detect breast cancer

Read full article: 3 ways to prevent, detect breast cancer

Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center via CNN(CNN) - October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an international campaign aimed at increasing awareness of the second most common cancer in women, with the goal of someday stopping it. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be 271,270 new cases of breast cancer in 2019, 99% of which will be diagnosed in women. They advise drinking little to no alcohol, citing sources that indicate that the risk of breast cancer increases with alcohol consumption. Factors such as older age, dense breasts, genetic mutations, previous treatment using radiation therapy, and a family history of breast cancer may increase your risk of getting breast cancer, according to the CDC. Skin swelling or redness, change in breast shape, nipple discharge (other than breast milk), pain in or on the breast, and skin flaking or dimpling can be other possible warning signs of breast cancer, according to the Cancer Treatment Centers of America.
