According to a new study on who is likely to develop breast cancer, lifestyle choices were seen as one of the most important factor in reducing the chances a person will develop the disease.
The study, published online May 26 in JAMA Oncology, looked at more than 40,000 women tested for 24 gene variants which were previously linked to increased risk of breast cancer.
The study looked at factors that could lower a person’s chances of developing breast cancer. As it stands now, a 30-year-old white woman has a 1 in 11 chance of developing the cancer at some point in her life.
