### Understanding Breast Cancer

Breast cancer occurs when the cells in the breast undergo abnormal transformation and develop into cancerous tumors. Often, this cancer can become aggressive and spread to other parts of the body.

While breast cancer primarily affects women over 50, the number of cases among younger women is also rising. Several factors can contribute to the risk of developing breast cancer, including:

– Genetics
– Age
– Hormonal imbalances
– Lifestyle choices such as alcohol consumption, smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity

Common symptoms to watch out for include lumps in the breast or armpit, changes in breast size or shape, skin redness, and nipple changes such as discharge.
