Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women worldwide. There are three general determinants associated with the cause of the disease: heredity factors, environmental factors, and hormonal factors.

Risk factors are distinguished by their respective etiological influences, such as family history, lifestyle, and exposure to pollutants.
