Yesterday I heard a story about this on NPR. It was on All Things Considered called "Study: Estrogen Protects Some From Breast Cancer." It sounds like it is individual for each woman depending on past family history and overall current health. Check out the link.

breast cancer that tests positive for a protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2), which promotes the growth of cancer cells. In about one of every three breast cancers, the cancer cells make an excess of HER2 due to a gene mutation. This gene mutation can occur in many types of cancer — not only breast cancer.\n\nHER2-positive breast cancers tend to be more aggressive than other types of breast cancer. They're also less responsive to hormone treatment.\n\n**I was diagnosed, last year, and had a double lumpectomy.  I was HER 2+.  What a 40th birthday present I received!  (I try to have a sense of humor!). \n\nI hope this helps.  \n\nHugs,\n\nPattie

There are several factors that increase the risk of breast cancer and one of them is age according to my doctor. So please be on the safe side and do your monthly self checks and get yearly mammograms. Good luck.

no\n\nbreast cancer is a disease that is caused by hormones stimulating the growth of cancerous cells in breast tissue. sometimes changes in DNA in the normal breast tissue can also cause cancer.\n\nthis horrible disease is largely genetic too-so if someone if your family had it-there is a chance you can get it too.\n\nwhat type of bra you where has nothing to do with it. \n\ncertain types of foods can help reduce your risk of getting it though. foods that are soy-rich,broccoli,spinach,and green tea are some of the things that can help reduce your risk...

I applaud you!!!\n\nBeing a 2 year breast cancer survivor, with a sister and aunt who have also had it and other cancers (colon & prostate) in the family.  I really appreciate all that you and the other scientists do to find cures for the "C" word.

The above is not complete. Don't have time to go into details, but check out this website:\n\nhttp://www.learner.org/channel/courses/biology/textbook/cancer/index.html\n\nI suggest reading the entire chapter if you don't have time for that, I suggest the section on Tumor Biology and the treatment section

look up medline and prepare for the avalanche.\nThe national institute of health site is good too. \nNational Cancer Institute\nDr koop and Dr. gabe Mirkin's sites are more readable (less technical), but will not have as much information.\nGoogle will deliver many sites too.\nDoc. Dan.
