Now is the time to reduce the risk.

After decades of progress in improved diagnostics, better treatments, a deeper understanding of genetic risk factors, and stronger support networks, breast cancer remains the most common cancer in women. What is even more concerning: the overall incidence of breast cancer is projected to double globally by the year 2040 and occur more frequently in younger women. Now, more than ever, we need to focus our efforts on finding ways to reduce the risk of breast cancer. With so many lives at stake, we urgently need to provide girls and women with timely education about established lifestyle risk factors, as well as emerging environmental hazards that may also increase the odds of developing breast cancer. To succeed, it is going to take a movement. Not just a movement, but movement. Period. 

Regular exercise is an important part of being as healthy as you can be. More and more research is showing that exercise will reduce your chances of developing breast cancer and also reduce the risk of it coming back (recurrence) if you've already been diagnosed. Exercise also can lower your risk of cancers of the colon, lung, and uterus.

You’ll be able to maintain a healthy weight. Regular exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight by building muscle and burning fat. Overweight and obese women -- defined as having a BMI (body mass index) of over 25 -- have a higher risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer compared to women who maintain a healthy weight, especially after menopause. Being overweight also can increase the risk of breast cancer coming back (recurrence) in women who have had the disease. This risk is higher because fat cells make estrogen; extra fat cells mean more estrogen in the body and estrogen can make hormone-receptor-positive breast cancers develop and grow.
