Abstract

In this short communication, various causes of breast cancer have been illustrated. Breast cancer is a one of the serious disease in women in world wide. Increasing age, reproductive factors, mammographic density and, in around 9% of cases, genetic factors and family history are all known risk factors for breast cancer. A range of factors, such as dietary fat intake, and solvent and pesticide exposure, have also been implicated as potential risk factors but the evidence so far has been inconclusive. For most cases of breast cancer, the true cause remains unknown. Studies worldwide have identified many factors to which women with breast cancer attribute their condition, including stress and other psychosocial factors; knocks, bruises or injury to the breast; religious causes; chemicals, food additives; proximity to electronic equipment or overhead power lines; viral or bacterial infection; and bad luck, although there is limited evidence to support the attributions. The objective of this study was too aware the women from various causes of breast cancer.
