The exact causes of cell malignancy are still the subject of scientific research and discussion. But doctors point to the likely factors for the development of breast cancer:
- mutations in genes BRCA1, BRCA2,
- hormonal imbalance
- a number of benign neoplasms that, under certain conditions, can degenerate into cancer,
- chest injury
- exposure to radiation,
- cancer of the uterus, ovaries.
