Dangerous Breast Cancer Myths
October 20, 2021 by Dr. Lori Gore-Green (Edit)
Breast cancer is a dangerous disease that will affect roughly 13 percent of women at some point
in their life. This makes it the second-most common form of cancer in women. Just like other types
of cancer, the disease forms when the cells in the breast start to grow abnormally. Despite the
prevalence of the disease, there is still a lot of misinformation out there regarding breast cancer.
These are the most dangerous breast cancer myths.
There’s Always a Lump
While a lump in the breast is the most common symptom of breast cancer, they are not present in
every case. This is why it is important to get regular screenings. You may think nothing is wrong,
but a mammogram can find breast cancer in the early stages. Make sure to look out for the other
common symptoms including breast swelling, inverted nipples, and flaky skin around the nipple.
Problem is Almost Solved
There are still a lot of people that think breast cancer is nothing to worry about because it is easily
cured. While advancements in science have drastically reduced the death rate associated with

breast cancer, it is still the second-deadliest form of cancer in women. A little more than 40,000
women are still dying every year from this horrible disease. A full cure is coming soon, but we are
not there yet.
Screenings Are Only Defense
Regular screenings and self-checks at home are great ways to detect breast cancer in the early
stages, but they are not your only defense against the disease. You can drastically reduce your
chances of developing this disease by living a healthy lifestyle. Obese women are nearly twice as
likely to develop breast cancer after menopause as those living at a healthy weight. The regular
consumption of alcohol also drastically boosts your chances of getting breast cancer.
No Family History, No Problem
You should not take things lightly just because there is no history of breast cancer in your family.
Roughly 85 percent of breast cancer patients have no family link to the disease. Those that do
have a family history of breast cancer need to be extra cautious because your risk of developing
the disease is nearly double of those without a family link.
