More and more Big Breast cancer was the Big Risk

Many women crave, desire to have large breasts because they are more sexy. But did you know that the greater the greater the risk of breast cancer?

It is based on the results of genetic studies, which connects the size of the breast with cancer risk. In the study of 16,000 women, researchers found a genetic mutation linked to breast size is also associated with the disease.

The genetic code of the women (all from Europe) is read by scientists through millions of small mutations in DNA called single-nucleotide polymorphisms. 7 is a genetic mutation linked to breast size, while 3 of them are also associated with breast cancer.

"This is the first significant link between breast size and cancer, but still needs a lot more research before it can be concrete," explains Dr. Nicholas Eriksson from 23andMe genetics company based in California, as reported by Dailymail, Thursday (5/7 / 2012).

Researchers also found no association between sex hormone estrogen can trigger the growth of the mammary gland and breast cancer.

Women with large breasts have a lot of the mammary gland. While most breast cancers derived from the glands. More glans, automatic opportunity to attack the cancer also increases. It is not wrong to say that the greater size of the breast cancer risk is also greater.

In addition, the fat lady then her breasts were getting bigger and also more and more hormone estrogen. So no wonder that obesity is a risk factor for breast cancer attacked her easily.

But that does not mean small breasted women are safe from the risk of cancer. Cancer risk remains lurking in people who can not apply a healthy life, not least the man. In fact men can get breast cancer even though the risk is much smaller.

Therefore, be diligent to perform at least with BSE (breast self-examination).

Breast Self-Examination (BSE) can be done in the following ways:

    Note the position of the breast with both hands above his head and both hands on the waist.
    Raise your left hand on the head.
    Use a flat surface of the finger to touch or press the breast and make sure to touch all parts of the breast. Patterns that can be used to rotate the direction of motion, movement up and down direction or directions in and out of the nipple area. Try using the same motion every month.
    Press each nipple gently and pay attention to whether there is discharge.
    Check the area between the breast and armpit and breast and sternum while lying.
    Repeat all the steps to the right breast.


BSE is a detection that does not need to pay and about 80 percent of breast cancer identified by BSE.
