How is Breast Cancer contracted?

and i need two other facts of breast cancer, not: treatment or symptoms

Breast cancer isn't "contracted", it develops. As a result of genetic mutation the cells in the breast begin to replicate more quickly than they should, resulting in tumor growth.

Other facts about breast cancer:

1. About 2% of all breast cancers are diagnosed in men.

2. Every 13 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer.

3. One in 8 women will get breast cancer in her lifetime.

Any one can get it. Any size breast, any color woman, any age woman (Not usually real young). Men can get it. They make up a very small percentage of people who have it. The risk of having it is higher if your mother, sister, grandmother or aunt has had it.
