However, nowadays, 30's and 20's have started to be seen frequently. Even at the age of 15, we started to see benign tumors that caused massive mass in the mammary, though not cancer. The number of new cases increases both in the form of falling age ranges and in each year. above about 30 thousand new cases are reported each year in Turkey. These numbers are increasing as the numbers go from east to west in the same way in the world, "he said.

Emphasizing that breast cancer cases in eastern provinces are under-seen, Dag said, "In this, giving birth, which is one of the most important issues as socio-economic level increases. This is one of the factors that can be blamed because the birth in Western countries is usually later. Nutrition can be effective. The number of women working again in the West is high and breastfeeding is less.

Breastfeeding is required for at least 12 months for protection, but it is not possible for a working woman to breastfeed for more than 6 months. Having a baby under 25 years of age is a significant preventative measure against breast cancer. As we go to the west, the risk of breast cancer increases automatically as the age of childbirth progresses, "he said.
