Prevention is the first step in lowering your risk against cancer and other chronic illnesses. For this purpose, utilizing an earlier breast cancer screening device helps in finding out the changes in the breasts and with regular use changes in the breasts can be detected. This allows you to take the proper measures in order to better manage or combat the disease if you end up being diagnosed. The most important thing you can do is to stay vigilant in your approach to early detection, not only for breast cancer, but for all cancer types.
Primary Stage of Breast Cancer Prevention:
This is the initial stage which doesn’t mean that a person has breast cancer or any other disease but this is often the most crucial stage to prevent the disease before its occurrence. There was some great research done by our partners at the American Cancer Society. Here's some examples of things that you can do.
- Avoid drinking alcohol – alcohol is linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. The risk increases with the amount of alcohol consumed
- Maintain a health weight – being overweight or obese specifically after menopause increases breast cancer risk. Physical activity is also a critical part of prevention
- Pay attention to added hormones – certain birth control methods or menopausal hormone therapy might increase the risk of breast cancer
Secondary Stage of Breast Cancer Prevention:
This phase is focused on understanding changes in your body and rapidly addressing any changes through tests or diagnostics.
- As this stage is the detection related stage, many changes in your routine can make life easier for you, such as exercise and inclusion of healthy food in your daily routine
This prevention stage is the most important and critical stage. This is the treatment stage when a patient is going through the treatment of breast cancer or any other disease. This stage is used to help the patients and their caregivers to deal with the disease. This management includes behaviors, habits, depression management etc.
- Cardiac or stroke reintegration programs, chronic disease management campaigns
- Supporting campaigns and people who help others to get back in their routine life after indulging into serious diseases like cancer
- Vocational trainings are also included to support breast cancer patients who are professionally working for people with jobs so they can start their professional life once again

Breastfeeding can be really very much helpful for women to avoid the breast cancer. It is really very amazing news for the mothers who are feeding their children. Estrogen levels remain stable when women use to breastfeed their babies.
