Is breast cancer hereditary?

#Breast_Cancer is a disease where cells grow outside their normal system and form a tumor; specialists say that if medical follow-up is not done, the size of the tumor can increase and, by spreading inside the body, it can lead to death.

They point out that according to World Health Organization information, breast cancer, which has been expanding recently, occurred in 157 out of 185 countries in 2022.

The information also shows that globally, about 2.3 million women are affected by breast cancer, and about 670,000 lose their lives to this disease.

It is said that factors like increasing age, excessive body weight, alcohol consumption, and a family history of the disease increase the risk of developing breast cancer.

Is breast cancer hereditary?

Among the many causes that can lead to breast cancer, between 5 to 10 percent occur due to a hereditary genetic mutation passed down through families; this means it occurs when an abnormal (mutated) gene is inherited from a parent, explains Dr. Veronica Afework, an Endocrinology and Breast Surgery Specialist at Black Lion Specialized Hospital.

However, she said, not all people who have a prominent hereditary genetic mutation for breast cancer in their bodies will develop breast cancer.

90 percent of breast cancer types are not hereditary, and Dr. Veronica states that the type called Sporadic Breast cancer develops in the absence of a genetic mutation.

Although there is no specific study conducted separately in our country, they indicate that studies done elsewhere in the world show that 6 out of 10 women who have a genetic mutation can develop breast cancer.

In general, they advise that because people with a family history of breast cancer may have a higher risk than others, it is necessary to regularly examine their breasts, monitor for changes, consult health professionals, and undergo tests as needed.
