In addition to prophylactic mastectomy, women who are at high risk of developing breast cancer, or take drugs to prevent the recurrence of a preexisting cancer, there are very few things that can be called as a preventative for this type of disease, but there are some changes in lifestyle can reduce the risk of develop.
One of the doctors giving expert advice is that women limit alcohol consumption to two or three drinks a week. This is because it is believed that alcohol, even in small amounts and only once a day increases the chances of a woman developing breast cancer. So I recommend reducing the consumption of beers, wines and other spirits.
Another important tip, not just to avoid this type of cancer but to also have better health in general, is to maintain your ideal weight or lower it if you are a little overweight. Because several studies have concluded that women who are overweight or are obese, special have already reached menopause have an increased risk for developing this cancer.
This is particularly so if you win most of your weight when you are an adult. Besides the experience of doctors who specialize in this type of cancer is that these women also have more chances of this disease, also have a lower survival rate and a greater chance of having a more aggressive type of cancer.
