Some risk factors can be controlled and some cannot. A family history of breast cancer, genetic mutations and previous radiation treatments cannot be changed, but you can make lifestyle changes to prevent breast cancer by eliminating excess alcohol, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, watching your weight and avoiding unnecessary hormone therapy (discuss with your physician first). If you feel that you are at high risk, please contact the Spectrum Health Cancer Center high risk breast clinic.
