8 Types of People Who ‘Can’t’ Get Breast Cancer Don't let the absence of common risk factors keep you from getting your regular checkups!

There are more than 3 million breast cancer survivors in the world.

But what can a woman do to reduce her risk of developing breast cancer or prevent a recurrence of the disease?

According to Dr. Susan Tannenbaum, chief of oncology at UConn Health's Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center, good nutrition, diet, and exercise are the key ingredients to achieving a healthier you to help prevent the disease from returning after breast cancer treatment, or to prevent it from developing in the first place.

"If you can lower your risk factors for breast cancer, which are mostly the same ones for preventing cardiovascular disease, it's huge for your chances of cancer prevention," says Tannenbaum. "We must return to basics and follow a daily prescription of a healthy diet and exercise to prevent cancer."

“Spreading the word about the importance of breast checking in this way could save lives, as knowing the signs and symptoms of breast cancer can lead to diagnosing the cancer sooner.”

Women are advised to check their breasts each month - aside from a lump, other signs of breast cancer include a change in breast size or shape, a rash or skin sores, ni**le discharge, skin indentation, constant pain or a change in skin texture.

Be Warned!!!.

Breast self-exams to check for lumps and other changes can help women detect the early signs of cancer.

Even more important than looking for specific changes is knowing how your breasts feel normally. A change in their shape or texture, a new lump, or other significant change could signal a problem, including cancer.

Women should also get regular breast exams from their doctor. Those at high risk of breast cancer may need annual mammograms, although teens almost never fall into this category.
