Earlier this year, German model Tatjana Patitz died of breast cancer at the age of 56. Now star of the American series Andrea Evans also lost the battle against a malignant tumor in her breast at the age of 66. Many women have also been affected in Austria. Which factors increase the risk of the disease and what role do the genes play.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than two million women worldwide will develop breast cancer by 2020. Also in Germany, this type of tumor is the most common cancer in women with about 5,600 new cases per year. For about 1,600, this ends fatally – and that despite the fact that therapies have improved enormously in recent years and the chance of recovery is, according to experts, 70 to 80 percent. Some factors and decisions we make in our lives can influence not only the development, but also the course and impact of cancer.
