Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

High-fat diet and alcohol intake are both known risk factors for breast cancer. Early first pregnancy and late menarche can actually reduce the risk of breast cancer. Large or pendulous breasts do not increase the risk of breast cancer, but they may make it more difficult to detect abnormalities on a mammogram. While a history of breastfeeding may have some protective effect against breast cancer, it is not a significant risk factor on its own.
