    hey i dont know the much about it but i have found some data from USA research websites. see it might be helpful to you!

    Over the last three decades there have been many studies investigating whether abortion causes or increases the risk of breast cancer. The studies produced conflicting results, so in February 2003 the US National Cancer Institute evaluated these studies to determine the association between abortion and breast cancer. The scientific experts concluded “induced abortion is not associated with an increase in breast cancer risk. ”

    This debate over the scientific data arose out of anti-abortion groups attempt to scare women about the risks associated with abortion. For many years, these groups have tried to dissuade women from seeking abortion and instilling fear in women about the association of abortion and breast cancer. The anti-abortion groups relied on poorly designed research studies and circulated misinformation about abortion causing or increasing the risk of breast cancer. The US National Cancer Institute put this debate to rest by examining all the research studies and concluding that abortion does not increase the risk of breast cancer.

    thanks you!

    At 18 you are more than twice as likely to be struck by lightning as to develop breast cancer. The chances of it occurring in both breasts are much smaller.

    And nothing you describe is a symptom of breast cancer.

    Most people diagnosed with breast cancer have felt no pain at all; it's very rarely a symptom of breast cancer.

    Someone has advised a mammogram; no doctor will order a mammogram on someone your age. Young women's breast tissue is too dense for mammography to be a useful diagnostic tool, and when the risk of breast cancer is just about zero and there are no symptoms, it simply isn't going to happen.

    Even those of us who have had breast cancer, and are therefore at increased risk, are advised to wait two weeks before consulting a doctor if we have worries like this - that way if it's simply hormonal it has time to settle down.

    If you're still getting the pains in two weeks and they're still worrying you, see your doctor for reassurance.

    But stop worrying about breast cancer; even in women old enough for breast cancer, what you describe are not breast cancer miami fraxel

    A risk factor is anything that affects your chance of getting a disease, such as cancer. Different cancers have different risk factors. For example, exposing skin to strong sunlight is a risk factor for skin cancer. Smoking is a risk factor for cancers of the lung, mouth, larynx (voice box), bladder, kidney, and several other organs.

    But risk factors don't tell us everything. Having a risk factor, or even several, does not mean that you will get the disease. Most women who have one or more breast cancer risk factors never develop the disease, while many women with breast cancer have no apparent risk factors (other than being a woman and growing older). Even when a woman with risk factors develops breast cancer, it is hard to know just how much these factors may have contributed to her cancer.

    There are different kinds of risk factors. Some factors, like a person's age or race, can't be changed. Others are linked to cancer-causing factors in the environment. Still others are related personal behaviors, such as smoking, drinking, and diet. Some factors influence risk more than others, and your risk for breast cancer can change over time, due to factors such as aging or lifestyle.
