Detailed explanation-1: -Having more fat tissue after menopause can raise estrogen levels and increase the chances of getting breast cancer. Women who are overweight also tend to have higher blood insulin levels. Higher insulin levels have been linked to some cancers, including breast cancer.
Detailed explanation-2: -Exposure to oestrogen Your risk of developing breast cancer may rise slightly with the amount of oestrogen your body is exposed to. For example, if you started having periods at a young age and experienced the menopause later than average, you will have been exposed to oestrogen over a longer period of time.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because estrogen stimulates hormone receptor-positive breast cancers to grow, lowering the estrogen level can help slow the cancer’s growth or help prevent it from coming back.
