   Well, the exact cause or causes of breast cancer are still unknown. Scientists have identified a number of risk factors that increase a person's chance of getting this disease, but still the actual reasons can vary. These risk factors include aging, eating habits, unhealthy lifestyle, hormonal causes, genetics etc.

   If a woman has already had breast cancer, she has a greater chance of developing a new cancer in the other breast. Such a new, or 'second,' cancer arises from a completely different location and should not be confused with a cancer that has recurred (come back) or metastasized (spread) from another site.

   According to researches, approximately 85% of women with breast cancer do NOT report a history of breast cancer within their families. Of the remaining 15%, about one-third appears to have a genetic abnormality.
