Is breast cancer hereditary?

　　Epidemiological investigation found: breast cancer First-degree relatives of patients are 2 to 3 times more likely to develop breast cancer than the general population.； Women who have a mother or sister who has breast cancer are at higher risk of developing the disease. This genetic predisposition also shows that patients with bilateral breast cancer have a higher incidence rate than relatives of patients with unilateral breast cancer. menopause First-degree relatives of patients with breast cancer have a nine-fold increased risk of developing the disease； For postmenopausal breast cancer, the risk of the patient's first-degree relatives increases fourfold. Based on the age of onset of breast cancer patients, the younger the age, the greater the risk of relatives suffering from cancer. ； The more people affected, the greater the risk to relatives.

　　Regarding the question of whether breast cancer is hereditary, experts say that breast cancer has a certain family genetic tendency. Breast cancer clusters in certain families. The risk of developing breast cancer among first-degree relatives is as high as 50%, while the risk for distant relatives in the family is small. People at high risk of breast cancer need to pay more attention to their breast condition and have regular physical examinations. Experts pointed out that ginsenoside Rh2 can induce the differentiation of tumor cells into normal cells, which is beneficial to controlling the development of tumors. It induces apoptosis of tumor cells and causes the cells to disintegrate to form apoptotic bodies without causing inflammatory reactions in surrounding tissues. Treatment of early breast cancer patients with ginsenoside Rh2 (such as "Jinxing" capsules produced by Hainan Asia Pharmaceutical) can strengthen local control, reduce possible micro-metastasis, shrink the tumor, and increase the success rate of surgery. This is cancer The best auxiliary medicine for patients.

　　In short, the familial aggregation tendency of breast cancer may be related to both genetic factors and environmental factors. Neither genetic factors nor environmental factors can satisfactorily explain the aggregation tendency of breast cancer in families. However, for women who have breast cancer in first-degree relatives, regular breast examinations are necessary and safe. The above is a more detailed answer to whether breast cancer is hereditary.
