Abstract

Breast cancer is a disease occurring once cells in the organ's tissues grow and split in an abandoned process known as a tumor. Despite recent significant advances in diagnosis and treatment, breast cancer remains a problem for societies and individuals. There are several reasons for this, including a lack of information about the mechanism and heterogeneity of breast carcinogenesis cases, despite developments in the treatment modes like hormone therapy, chemo-radiotherapy and surgery. The female human organs' breasts, lobules, ducts and nipples are colonized by a range of bacteria throughout lactation time and numbers of those can yield carcinogenesis and/or stimulate inflammatory processes. Effective prevention programs decrease the occurrence of this cancer by protecting and defending women from evolving cancer disease and avoiding its return by reducing the occurrence of breast cancer by more than 11%, through breastfeeding as an essential protective factor in prevention programs. This article introduces protective steps that may reduce breast cancer occurrence, by expressing women's breast milk using a breast pump device for drawing milk at least annually and using appropriate antibiotics for women who don't breastfeed.
