In Australia, the month of October is dedicated to Breast Cancer awareness. This is an opportunity for Australians to educate themselves on breast cancer and what they can do to support Breast Cancer Research.
|
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in Australia and the second most common cancer to cause death in women. In Australia 1 in 7 women and 1 in 700 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
|
Common causes of Breast cancer include:
|
- Smoking
- Alcohol
- Higher weight
- Family History
- Age
- Dense Breasts
