how to prevent breast cancer?

There are a LOT of things a woman can do to reduce her chances of getting breast cancer.  (Note: regular check-ups are important but they do not prevent cancer, they merely identify it early.)\n\nThe medical research is full of information on the following nutritional factors:\n\n1) High intakes (two servings per day) of brassica vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, etc.) may help modulate detoxification systems (especially detoxification of estrogens) and decrease cancer risks.\n\n2) Avoid all intake of alcohol.\n\n3) Adequate intakes of nutrients needed for an important process in the body called 'methylation' are needed to prevent breast and other cancers.  These include: Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, the B vitamin called Folate, and Betaine.  These nutrients are commonly deficient in modern foods and are especially important in women who drink alcohol.\n\n4) High intakes of bioflavanoids such as soy isoflavones, epigallo-catechin-gallate (ECGC) in green tea, and resveratrol in dark grapes, may be helful.\n\n5) Regular excercise is associated with decreased breast cancer risks.\n\n6) High Vitamin D levels play many important roles in the body's physiology that help to reduce cancer risks.  Note:  Vitamin D deficiency is now considered to be at Epidemic Levels in western civilization.  RDAs for Vitamin D are way too low and many people are avoiding sunlight (the primary source of Vitamin D production.)  Cod liver oil is an excellent source of Vitamin D.\n\n7) A huge body of scientific evidence supports a role for Vitamin C in the prevention of the cancer process.\n\n8) High intakes of a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables (5-9 servings per day) have repeatedly been associated with reduced risk for many cancers.\n\nMuch of the information I have offered here can be found in great detail in the medical text:  "Nutrition and Cancer Prevention", edited by Awad and Bradford, 2006, publ. by CRC Press.  This is not a book for the 'layperson', and frankly, most doctors would have difficulty following the biochemistry it discusses.\n\nAn excellent book for the layperson on many aspects of prevention of chronic diseases, including cancers, is available by Sherry Rogers, M.D.  The book has a gruesome name: "Detoxify Or Die", but it is an authoratative source of critical information about disease prevention.  I highly recommend it.  It is available at Amazon.com or from the publisher at 1-800-846-6687.\n\nI hope you find this information helpful.  Best wishes.

There are studies that say that if you have a history of breast cancer in your family, that being on the pill can increase your risk of getting it earlier.  Here is a link that might help you.  http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/special_reports/breast_cancer_pill.htm

Drink lots of water, plenty of sleep, limit sun exposure, regular pap smears and self breast exams, take a calcium supplement, maintain good diet and exercise.  Probably all the stuff your mama has been telling you throughout your teenage years, but she's right.

breasts are a fatty tissue so any junk food will help, but with bigger breast she will also get a bigger butt

Tell your doctor and he/ she will schedule a mammogram to check for cancer cells in the breast.  Just because a man's breast is not developed, he still might get cancer of the breast.

Do you check your breast every week for lumps, you should you know.If you are on the pill then this will increase the risk of breast cancer.The only way to avoid cancer of any kind is to eat plenty of foods that contain antioxidants and supplements like Vitamin E these you can buy at a health shop. \nAny more problems contact me on alternative@medicine123.wanadoo.co.uk\n\nMrs G J Jones (BSYA-SEN)

Do monthly self-exams of your breasts to check for any small lumps.  That is the best early detection, and can help you to treat or remove lumps before they become cancerous or dangerous.  If you find a lump, see your doctor right away to determine if it's cancerous or just fluid (that can happen sometimes too).  Here's a website to help you learn how to do a self-exam:\nhttp://www.komen.org/bse/

many chemicals in processed foods are carcinogenic so avoid them if you can. however its all about the amount you eat. particularly dangerous are artificial sweeteners, so dont drink diet fizzy drinks. eating lots of organic fresh fruit and vegetables will protect you from cancer.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, other than skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer. \n\nAbout 212,920 women in the United States will be found to have invasive breast cancer in 2006. About 40,970 women will die from the disease this year. Right now there are slightly over 2 million women living in the United States who have been treated for breast cancer. \n\nThe chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is about 1 in 8. The chance of dying from breast cancer is about 1 in 33. Breast cancer death rates are going down. This decline is probably the result of finding the cancer earlier and improved treatment.\n\nAfter the first course of treatment is finished, it is very important to keep all follow-up visits to your doctor. Be sure and tell the doctor about any symptoms or side effects that concern you. \n\nAt first, these visits are scheduled every 4 to 6 months. The longer you are free of cancer, the less often you will need visits. After 5 years, visits are usually once a year. You should have a mammogram of the remaining breast and the breast treated with lumpectomy. \n\nMore than likely, if it was found pretty earlier and your spouse has good care, your spouse has an EXCELLENT chance of coming through this fine.\n\nBe there for your spouse, talk to her. She is going through alot right now, and you probably are too. The best thing is communication.\n\nGood luck!

Well breast are made up mainly of fat so depending how old you are i'd just try packin on a few pounds and hoping it goes to the right places. (i'm mexican and eating tortillas and beans and rice and such worked for me) If your under 21 just think positive thoughts you keep growing into your early 20s. Also if heredity dealt you a bad hand theres not much you can do about it. I work at Victoria Secrets and for now i'd say just go invest some cash in a very sexy pushup infinity edge bra cause it works really well even with A cups. Goodluck.

There is no known way to prevent people from getting leukemia or any other cancer. Cancer is an ancient disease and can even be found in fossilized remains that are thousands of years old.\n\nThe History of Cancer\nhttp://www.cancer.org/docroot/CRI/content/CRI_2_6x_the_history_of_cancer_72.asp?sitearea=CRI\n\nYou can, however, minimize your chances of developing some form of cancer by not smoking, exercise, eating a well balanced diet, and remaining strong mentally and physically. Being healthy and strong when or if you get cancer definitely factors into your ability to survive cancer.

Prevention\nThe following are a list of things that can be done to avoid a urinary tract infection. As many people, especially women, experience recurrent infections some commonly recommended preventative measures are\n\nHaving adequate fluid intake, especially water. \nNot resisting the urge to urinate. \nTaking showers, not baths, or urinating soon after taking a bath. \nPracticing good hygiene, including wiping from the front to the back to avoid contamination of the urinary tract by faecal pathogens. \nCleaning genital areas prior to and after sexual intercourse. \nFor sexually active women, and to a lesser extent men, urinating within 15 minutes of sexual intercourse to allow the flow of urine to expel the bacteria before specialized extensions anchor the bacteria to the walls of the urethra. \nIt has been advocated by some, that cranberry-juice would decrease the incidence of UTI, by generating some metabolite inhibiting the adherence of certain pathogens (eg. E. coli) to the epithelium of the urinary bladder.
