Breast cancer is the most frequent type of cancer diagnosed. Much of the information circulating about breast cancer that can cause anxiety, but not necessarily true. Dr.
Marc Hurlbert, Executive Director of breast cancer programs in the
global Avon Foundation for Women and the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade,
revealed the five myths of breast cancer that is popular here as they
are offered from: sheknows.com

who do not have a family history, and very little (< 15 percent) who
had breast cancer in their families.
2. the presence of lumps on the breast cancer is not necessarily
Correct.
The National Breast Cancer Foundation States that only a small proportion of breast lumps turn out to be cancer. Not
that the bumps that appear negligible, especially if the new bump
appears or is accompanied by other symptoms so the women have to
recognize her own tits.
3. Deodorants cause breast cancer
Wrong.
According to the research of Dr. Hulbert suggests that the antiperspirant or deodorant doesn't cause breast cancer. The
American Cancer Society also stated that there is no strong
epidemiological research in the medical literature that links breast
cancer risk and the use of antiperspirant or deodorant.
4. size of bra does not affect breast cancer risk
Correct.
According to Dr. Hurlbert, size Bras affect breast cancer risk is a myth. There is no relationship between the size of the bra and breast cancer.
5. breast cancer only happens to women elderly

but Dr. Hurlbert suggested that about 25 percent of new breast cancer
cases each year are women under age 40.
