After age, the strongest factor for the increased risk of breast cancers is breast density.
In mammogram, variation in female breast depends on the difference in the relative amount of fatty tissue, connective tissue, and epithelial tissues that form the line of ducts and lobules where breast cancer begins.
Fat tissue appears dark, whereas connective and epithelial tissue appear lighter or white.
Women whose breasts have a density (looks whiter on mammogram) more than 50% of the total breast tissue have a three to five times increased risk of cancer compared to women with breast density of less than 25%.
This relationship was even stronger in women who have a family history of this cancer.
However, breast density remains one of the factors known to increase risk of breast cancer.
Increased breast density is common among women diagnosed with this type of cancer and appeared in 33% to 42% of all cases.
In comparison, only 10% of those patients who have a family history of breast cancer.
Due to increased breast density is an important risk factor, this raises the possibility that the decrease in density means also reduce the risks.
A study on 460 women with benign breast lump and increased density are treated with herbs reported a positive effect on the resolution of these lumps and reduced density.
The women were aged between 19 to 58 years (mean age 38.
5 years); 79% aged between 28-45 years and 20.
4% aged 46-58 years.
Of all those women, 206 women had a lump and increased density in both breasts, 148 women have these symptoms only on the left breast, and 106 women are only on the right breast.
All patients were monitored for 6 months after the last treatment.
In patients with the syndrome is classified into three groups and given a single herbal formula.
Of the 460 women, 108 women showed a perfect response, defined by the loss the entire lump and shadow on an X-ray and evaluation by infrared rays.
222 women showed the remarkable improvement and 96 women showed the slight improvement.
The other factors of breast cancer risk include women's reproductive history, full-term pregnancy (gestational age before birth, pregnancy) in the first time, the number of pregnancies, the use of hormonal therapy and lactation.
Female reproductive system is regulated and influenced by many hormones, like estrogen, progesterone, and follicle-stimulating hormone, which increases, controls, and inhibits each other so that the body capable of ovulating, conceiving, keeping up to full-term babies, and providing nutrients for the baby through breast milk.
Several theories have been shown about why the estrogen and progesterone may increase this cancer risk.
