  • True or False?
    Most women diagnosed with breast cancer have a family history of the disease.
  • Most women diagnosed with breast cancer don’t have a family history of the disease. About 10% to 15% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have a first-degree female relative (mother, sister or daughter) who’s also had it. A woman who has a first-degree female relative with breast cancer has about twice the risk of a woman without this family history. If she has more than one first-degree female relative with a history of breast cancer, her risk is about 2-4 times higher.

    Getting regular physical activity can help lower the risk of breast cancer.
  • Women who get regular exercise have a lower risk of breast cancer than women who don’t exercise.
  • True or False?
    Healthy lifestyle choices are linked to a lower risk of different types of cancer and other health conditions, such as heart disease.
  • A healthy lifestyle includes being physically active, achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, and eating fruits and vegetables. Eating “good fats” is one part of a healthy diet.

They have nearly 20 vitamins and minerals as well as good fats that help the body absorb fat-soluble nutrients such as vitamins A, D, K, and E — some of which have antioxidant properties.

    Screening mammograms can help detect breast cancer early, when it’s most treatable.
  • Getting regular screening mammograms can detect cancer early, when it’s most treatable and survival is highest. Learn more about mammography.
