Frequently Asked Questions
Breast cancer prevention focuses on lifestyle choices and regular screenings. Firstly, maintaining a healthy weight through balanced diet and regular exercise reduces the risk, as excess body fat can increase hormone levels linked to cancer. Secondly, limiting alcohol intake, as alcohol can raise estrogen levels and contribute to cancer risk. Thirdly, avoiding smoking and secondhand smoke, which can be detrimental to overall health and increase cancer risks. Fourthly, breastfeeding may lower the risk by reducing exposure to estrogen, which can promote breast cell growth.
Slowing the growth of breast cancer typically involves a combination of treatment strategies tailored to the individual’s specific cancer type and stage. These may include surgical interventions like lumpectomy or mastectomy, radiation therapy to target remaining cancer cells after surgery, and systemic treatments such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy. Lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and a balanced diet can also support treatment effectiveness and overall health.
The lifestyle factors that are typically recommended for reducing the risk of breast cancer or supporting recovery from it include a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Regular physical activity, such as brisk walking or aerobic exercises, is crucial, aiming for at least 150 minutes per week. Maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and managing stress effectively are also important. Regular screenings and early detection can significantly improve outcomes, so it’s essential for women to adhere to recommended screening guidelines.
