What happened to Hina Khan

How does breast cancer happen?

Breast cancer happens when abnormal cells in the breast grow and multiply uncontrollably, forming a tumor. This happens when there is a genetic mutation or damage to the DNA of breast cells, leading to uncontrolled cell division. Hormonal factors, such as exposure to estrogen, can also contribute to the development of breast cancer. Additionally, environmental and lifestyle factors, like radiation exposure, obesity, and lack of exercise, can increase the risk. 

In some cases, breast cancer can be inherited due to genetic mutations passed down from family members. As the abnormal cells accumulate, they can invade surrounding tissue and spread to other parts of the body, making early detection and treatment crucial for effective management of the disease. Understanding the causes of breast cancer can help identify risk factors and promote prevention and early detection strategies.
