Abstract
Spanish / Español: Los factores de riesgo para cáncer del seno son factores que, mediante estudios científicos y por consenso general, han sido vinculados con el riesgo de desarrollar cáncer del seno. Varios de estos factores están asociados con el historial reproductivo de la mujer y
con su exposición al estrógeno, una hormona producida en el cuerpo. Aquellos factores de riesgo que pueden ser modificados proveen una oportunidad para reducir el riesgo de desarrollar cáncer del seno. Lactar a su bebé, por ejemplo, reduce el riesgo de la madre de
desarrollar cáncer del seno y es, por lo tanto, un ejemplo de un factor de riesgo de cáncer del seno que puede ser modificado. English Abstract: Established breast cancer risk factors are factors for which there is general agreement from research studies of a relationship with breast cancer risk. Several of the established risk factors involve a woman’s exposure to the hormone estrogen made by her own body and her reproductive history. Risk factors that can be modified provide actual targets for breast cancer risk
reduction. Breastfeeding decreases breast cancer risk and is a good example of an established, modifiable risk factor.
