Diseases of breast, especially malignancies, constitute a huge medical problem and are targets of many studies. Recent reports indicate an association between the inborn body weight, sex, childhood, puberty, genetic factors and increased risk of occurrence of breast malignancies in young women (before menopause). Especially genetic predisposition, fast rate of growth as a child and early menarche seem to increase the risk of breast cancer occurrence before menopause.
