Benign Breast Lumps - It is vital to know that not every lump is cancer! It is estimated
that more than 10% of all women have benign lumps, irregularities and pain in
their breasts, such as fybrocystic mastopathy, mastodynia, benign breast neoplasms
as fibroadenomas, cysts and intraductal papillomas. See
About Mammograms. "Exercise
cuts breast cancer risk by 39% - for women under age 45 the risk reduction is
84%." Published in the British
Journal of Cancer - A growing body of evidences indicates physical activity
is protective against breast cancer. In 1996-97 a 15-year follow-up of 5398 college
alumnae comprised of former college athletes with their non-athlete classmates.
Based on self-reports of 3940 women answering a detailed questionnaire, former
college athletes has a significantly lower risk of breast cancer than the non-athletes.
Athletic activity during the college and pre-college years is protective against
breast cancer throughout the life span and more markedly among women under 45.
These results confirm our earlier findings and the findings of other investigators.
