Breast Cancer Prevention

Meaning

Breast cancer prevention encompasses a comprehensive, multi-modal clinical and lifestyle strategy aimed at reducing the incidence risk of mammary gland malignancy in at-risk populations. This involves targeted interventions, including chemoprevention with selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), rigorous surveillance protocols, and proactive lifestyle modifications that modulate hormonal risk factors. The goal is to interrupt the complex biological cascade of cellular transformation and proliferation influenced by estrogen and progesterone signaling.
