Women Health
There are so many risks on women health and one of the scariest risks is breast cancer. When it comes to breast cancer cause, the exact cause is still unknown, but genetic is known to be one of the common causes. Therefore, people who are having a family member who has breast cancer should make a routine check-up and have a healthy lifestyle to prevent breast cancer.
Men of women who inherit or have BRCA1 or BRCA 2 gen mutation from someone who has breast cancer is having higher risk on breast cancer. BRCA1 and BRCA2 can be explained as the genes that identified as tumor suppressors. The problem is in the genes growth. If the genes are growing normally, then the genes will help the body to prevent tumor by controlling the growth of cells. On the other side, if the genes are growing abnormally, or mutating, then it leads to breast cancer. Therefore, a women health detail check should be done to prevent the disease.
Unfortunately BRCA1 and BRCA2 are not the only genes that related to breast cancer. There are some genes like ATM, PTEN, TP53, MSH2 and many others. With a blood test, we will be able to find out whether we are having a risk on genes mutation or not. This test can be very important; moreover for those whose family is having breast cancer history. The test should be the part of mandatory women health checking.
