Dr. Michal Ravid

Although women under forty, are not at increased risk of breast cancer risk, but there are women that are higher risk even at this age due to various risk factors: breast cancer, which occurred in the past, family history (especially in cases of breast cancer in mother, sister or a), the funds previously performed in the chest, carrying mutations such as BRCA1/BRCA2, the first regulator in relation to the average young age, first birth relatively late and taking birth control pills. It is important to note that the opinions are divided about the nature of the effect of pills on the risk of breast cancer.
Breast cancer in women under forty is the same as breast cancer in women over the age of it, being able to diagnose the disease more difficult. Because the more dense breast tissue, more time passes until the lump weakling (felt by touch), so the disease is discovered at a later stage. Breast cancer in women under forty, is considered more aggressive and respond less to treat him.
Since the data show that the chance of women developing the disease is low at this age many women ignore the warning signs like a lump in the breast or discharge not routinely secreted nipple. Too often ignores the medical staff of these signs, dismissed the claim that women have a cyst or need to wait and see.
Although you can not prevent breast cancer in young women, early detection of disease increases the chance to recover from more than ninety percent. Hence the great importance of awareness of the disease manifestations tests.

Women that are in risk of disease, due to the factors presented earlier, should be reviewed as appropriate in accordance with the recommendation of their doctor.

Treatment options range from hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, surgery and local control felling analysis of the breast, again depending on the type and size of the tumor.
Conclusion of the matter, although breast cancer is not recognized as a disease of young women, but prevalence among women under age forty is, here is important to carry out awareness consistency checks to detect the disease early so that you can deal with it.
