只有大约55%的乳腺癌病例可以用年龄以外的公认风险因素来解释，其中大部分在女性进行第一次乳房X光检查时无法改变。到50岁时，遗传尤其是不可改变的，选择第一次足月妊娠或生孩子的年龄是多年前的决定。除了通过预防性使用药物或手术寻求医疗干预外，这两种方法都未经证实，妇女还能做些什么来减少患上一种在1994年将夺去46 000人生命的疾病的风险？也许是的
Only about 55% of breast cancer cases are explainable by recognized risk factors other than age, most of which cannot be changed by the time a woman has her first mammogram. By the age of 50, heredity, in particular, is immutable, and choosing the age at which to have a first full-term pregnancy or to have children at all is a decision made years in the past. Aside from seeking medical intervention through the prophylactic use of drugs or surgery, both unproven methods, is there anything a woman can do to reduce her risk of developing a disease that will claim 46,000 lives in 1994? Maybe Yes
