Abstract

Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancers among women globally, with numerous biological, genetic, environmental, and lifestyle-related risk factors contributing to its development. This study aims to explore and synthesize the various risk factors associated with breast cancer in women, while also examining the psychological consequences following diagnosis and treatment. Through a comprehensive review of current literature and qualitative data from patient interviews, the research identifies key risk factors such as age, family history, hormonal influences, obesity, and alcohol consumption. Moreover, the study highlights the profound psychological impact experienced by women diagnosed with breast cancer, including anxiety, depression, body image disturbances, and fear of recurrence. Findings emphasize the need for integrated healthcare approaches that address both physical and psychological aspects of breast cancer. The study concludes by advocating for early psychological interventions and personalized support systems to improve mental health outcomes and quality of life among affected women.
