Most of the women get breast cancer because either they have mutated genes or some risk factors associated with them.

The most common genes mutated are- BRCA1, BRCA2 and p53.

The risk factors of Breast cancer include- Hormonal contraceptives, HRT and some specific lifestyles.

Sometimes ,breast cancers can occur without any mutations, family history or risk factors. But these comprise a small proportion of breast cancers.
