How To Reduce Breast Cancer Risk
The Institute of Medicine of the National Academics released a report this week evaluating various environmental and lifestyle factors that may impact a woman’s chance of developing breast cancer.
The report, entitled Breast Cancer and the Environment: A Life Course Approach, is based on a consensus review of the evidence, and evaluates a number of supposed risk factors including alcohol consumption, smoking, exercise and various environmental factors.
The highlights to reduce your risk: avoid inappropriate medical radiation exposure, avoid hormone replacement therapy, avoid exposure to cigarette smoke, limit or eliminate alcohol consumption, stay active, maintain a healthy body weight and limit exposure to chemicals.
