BREAST CANCER RISK

[momto2]

I am 39 years old and am wondering based on my history if I might be at an increased risk for breat cancer. I had a fibroadenoma removed about 12 years ago. It was benign but the biopsy mentioned I had sclerosing adenosis. The biopsy at that time placed me at no increased risk. This year I developed an intraductal papilloma which was also removed. This biopsy also stated no increased risk (no hyperplasia, etc.). All of these  things have been on the same breast. While I was researching the papilloma I came across a web site that listed several conditions that are considered hyperplasia because obviously there has to be rapid cell growth for these things to occur.All three of my incidents ( fibroadenoma, sclerosing adenosis, and papilloma )fell under the list of hyperplasia conditions. Even though all of my biopsies have been ok am I still at an increased risk? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Read on the beneficial effects of circumin, neem and Coq-10. Modern Medicine temporarily gets rid of breast cancer symptoms.

Proper nutrition, exercise, alkaline foods, "no diet colas and no sugar substitutes" and meditation with breathing exercises are key to a healthy body.

Dear momto2: Certain benign breast lesions are associated with an increase in the relative risk of developing breast cancer in the future.  The presence of "atypical hyperplasia" is considered a risk factor for breast cancer as is the finding of lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS).  Other benign breast lesions, such as those you mention, appear to be less strongly associated with the future development of breast cancer.  Your individual risk, however, depends on a variety of factors including your family history and your reproductive history.  There are models available, such as the "Gail model" which can be used to calculate your risk of getting breast cancer over the next 5 years or over your lifetime.  This particular model takes into account your age, race, family history, prior biopsy results and your menstrual/reproductive history.
