Care femei au cel mai mare risc de cancer la sân? Ce spune Organizația Mondială a Sănătății • Newsweek România

The World Health Organization highlights that certain groups of women face a higher risk of breast cancer due to various factors. Key risk factors include age, obesity, alcohol consumption, family history, and reproductive history. Approximately 80% of breast cancer cases occur in women without modifiable risk factors, aside from being female and over 40. Genetic mutations, particularly in BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB-2 genes, significantly increase risk. Symptoms to watch for include lumps, changes in breast size or shape, skin alterations, and abnormal nipple discharge. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment.
