What causes breast cancer?
• Causes and risk factors
Risk Factors
• Age:
• 95% in women 40yo +
• highest in 70-74 yo
• FH
• Personal history
• Genetic risk:
• BRCA 1/2, TP 53,
ATM
• Nulliparous
• 1st full term pregnancy
after 35 yo
• No lactation
• HRT
• Alcohol
• Overweight/obesity
• Physical inactivity
70% of breast cancers
are in patients without
identifiable risk factors
Risk Calculators

Hereditary Breast Cancer Risks
5-10% of all breast cancers
• Ashkenazi Jewish descent
• 3 or more 1st or 2nd degree relatives
• 1st degree relative with bilateral breast
cancer
• 2 or more 1st or 2nd degree relatives with
ovarian cancer
• Male breast cancer
BRCA 1 and BRCA 2
• Code for DNA repair
• Presence of gene, increases the risk of getting breast
cancer up to 80% in her lifetime
• BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations make up about half of all
cases of inherited breast cancer
• associated with ovarian cancer and prostate cancer
• can be inherited either from the mother or the father.
Other Inherited Genes
• TP53 gene
• codes for the tumor suppressor protein p53
• Mutations cause Li-Fraumeni syndrome: associated
with early onset breast cancer
• Ataxia Telangiectasia (ATM) gene
Females with one defective copy of the ATM gene and
one normal copy of the gene are at increased risk for
breast cancer.

Prevention Studies
• Tamoxifen
• Raloxifen: STAR (Study of Tamoxifen and
Raloxifene)
• Raloxifene is as effective as tamoxifen in
reducing invasive but not nonivasive (DCIS) BC
risk
• Both drugs reduce invasive BC risk by about 50%
• Raloxifene: 36% fewer uterine cancers, 29%
fewer blood clots
• Both increase blood clots.
Aspirin
• In an epidemiologic study, aspirin
appeared to lower breast cancer risk
• Need prospective trial
Vitamin D
• Helps with calcium absorption to maintain
bone density
• In clinical trials
Fat
• WINS
• Low fat diet (< 30%)
• 5Y FU: new breast cancers--9.8% low-fat
diet; 12.4% standard diet (24% reduction)
• largest risk reduction – 42%--in ER
negative tumors
What about soy? Flax?
Phytoestrogens?
• Eat what you like!
• Eat healthy!
• Do not change your diet drastically to
include phytoestrogens.
• There may be safety concerns re:
pharmaceutically concentrated soy
products
Lifestyle
• Maintain a healthy weight
• Decrease intake overall. Increase vegetables
in specific (2/3 of plate)
• Increase activity: 3-4 hours of exercise per
week
• Decrease alcohol intake
