About Breast Cancer





Breast cancer is a malignant tumor arising from epithelial cells of breast whose genes are induced by various carcinogens, causing mutation thus leads to cell proliferation being out of control and exceeding the limits of self-repair.
A woman has 10% of possibility to develop breast cancer in her whole life, second only to cervical cancer. This risk increases with aging, especially the menopausal women between age of 40~60. The real causes of breast cancer are not yet fully known although a number of risk factors have been identified, such as family history of breast cancer, menarche at earlier age and so on. But what so encouraging is that the advanced medical facilities and anticancer techniques from Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou are helping more and more women do breast cancer screening and treatment.
