Hey blog readers...The next couple of post will go together. The topic will be, how do women get breast cancer. It will be in about 3 parts...so stay tuned and check back (or be lazy and check back in a few days and read them all at once. I have to fill 31 days...)
What Causes Breast Cancer?
Certain changes in DNA can cause normal breast cells to become cancerous. DNA is the chemical in each of our cells that makes up our genes -- the instructions for how our cells work. Some inherited DNA changes can increase the risk for developing cancer and are responsible for the cancers that run in some families. But most breast cancer DNA changes happen in single breast cells during a woman's life rather than having been inherited. These are called acquired changes, and most breast cancers have several of these acquired gene mutations. But so far, the causes of most acquired mutations that could lead to breast cancer remain unknown.
I guess that is why we need to keep supporting research huh....?
Until tomorrow...same blog time, same blog channel
Be Kind, Be Safe...Be informed.
Shalom my Peeps.
