It is also the third deadliest cancer in the world, after lung cancer and colon cancer.
Made with a well-publicized statistics on the chances of women with breast cancer in her lifetime as one of eight, an alarming number of concerns about breast cancer is really booming, and completely understandable.

But the good news is that with the increased use of advanced technologies, such as mammography and diagnostic equipment, early detection of possible today. Cure seems to be improving.Genetic causes of breast cancer of many studies. In most cases of hereditary breast cancer two genes - BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes for breast cancer 1 and breast cancer genes were assigned to 2 ndThe real function of these genes is the growth of normal cells of the breast and to prevent any problems. But if the genes mutate, or does not contain inherent defects, which increases the risk of breast cancer. In fact, 10% of all breast cancers are abnormal BRCA1 and BRCA2.

Women who develop breast cancer, and BRAC1 abnormal or BRCA2 gene often tend to family history of breast or ovarian cancer to have. But women who have no history of breast cancer in the family can also develop the disease, there is no guarantee for this deadly disease.Since the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 were identified as increasing the risk of developing breast cancer, women who are interested in whether the genes are not within normal limits or not subject to identification.From 5 to 10 percent of all breast cancers are hereditary. Some ethnic origin, and how to find the Central or Eastern, Jewish women in Europe to develop a better chance of hereditary breast cancer.Women with BRCA1 mutation have an equal chance of survival than those who do not. It was suggested that women who developed breast cancer as a result of the mutant gene BRCA1, the worst result, and survival rates. But now, studies have shown that there is no significant difference in mortality between women who have cancer as a result of genetic mutation, and those who do not have genetic causes, even in the most developed.
