- Age And Physical Risk Factors In Breast Cancer
By: Mai Brooks | -
Age is likely the most important overall factor associated with breast cancer risk. Breast cancer risk increases in the older post-menopausal population.

With the dramatic increase in obesity in the U.S., this may be the number one reason for a persistently high incidence in breast cancer. Other ...

- How To Choose The Right Breast Cancer Surgery
By: Mai Brooks | - Once you have been diagnosed with breast cancer, usually treatment starts first with surgery. There are generally two components to the operation: 1) the breast, and 2) the axilla (armpit).
In the breast, there are two choices: 1) lumpectomy (removing the cancer lump and some surrounding tissue), or 2) mastectomy (removing the entire breast). Just a quarter of a century ago, almost all patients had mastectomy, even if their breast cancer is small. But over the past few decades, ...
