怎么样减少患乳腺癌的风险?快来看看这5个办法吧!
Check out these five tips for reducing your breast cancer risk.
五招减少乳腺癌风险：
1.Limit yourself to two or three alcoholic drinks a week
每周只喝两到三杯含酒精饮料
Alcohol, consumed even in small amounts, is believed to increase the risk of breast cancer. Most doctors recommend cutting back on wine, beer, and hard liquor.
酒精被觉得是乳腺癌的罪魁祸首之一，即便是每次少量饮用，也会增加乳腺癌的风险。很多大夫都会建议患者少喝葡萄酒、啤酒和烈性酒等各种酒类。
A recent study showed the link between drinking and breast cancer was especially strong in the 70 percent of tumors known as hormone-sensitive.
近期的一项研究了解地表明了饮酒与乳腺癌之间的联系：70%的肿瘤都是激素敏锐性肿瘤的事实强有力地佐证了这一点。
2.Exercise at least three times a week
每周至少运动三次
And when you do exercise, work to keep your heart rate above its baseline level for a minimum of 20 continuous minutes. Long walks are nice too, but it's the more vigorous exercise that really helps your heart and cuts your cancer risk.
在做运动的时候，要努力维持至少20分钟的持续运动时间让心率高于基本水平。长距离步行当然也非常不错，但愈加激烈的运动才能对心脏有好处并降低癌症风险。
3.Maintain your body weight, or lose weight if you're overweight
维持体重，身体如果超重了记得减肥
Research shows that being overweight or obese increases your risk, especially if you put on the weight as an adult. And a study released in March 2008 by researchers at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston showed that obese and overweight women also had lower breast cancer survival rates and a greater chance of more aggressive disease than average-weight or underweight women.
研究表明超重或肥胖症会增加得乳腺癌的风险，尤其是当你作为成年人体重增加的时候。坐落于休斯顿的德州大学安德森癌症研究中心在 2008年3月发布一项研究表明，肥胖和超重的女人与正常体重或体重偏轻的女人相比，得乳腺癌后存活下来的几率更小，而得更紧急的病症的几率要更大一些。
4.Do a monthly breast self-exam
每月进行乳房自我检查
Be sure to get proper instruction from your doctor and have your technique reviewed regularly. You might catch a lump before a mammogram does, and it's a good idea to follow changes in your body.
要确保你得到了大夫的正确指示说明，并按期让大夫复查你的检查技术。这种自我检查或许会叫你在做胸部X光测试之前就发现肿块。知道身体的变化是个很好的想法。
5.Have a mammogram once a year after 40
40岁后每年做一次胸部X光测试
Catching a tumor early boosts the chance of survival significantly: The five-year survival rate can be as high as 98 percent for the earliest stage localized disease, but hovers around 27 percent for distant-stage, or metastatic, disease.
早期发现肿瘤会大大提升存活的几率：早期局部疾病的五年存活率高达98%，而晚期或转移成人两性疾病的五年存活率只有27%左右。
