Overview

The cause of breast cancer is not yet known exactly, though many risk factors can increase the chance of developing breast cancer.

Causes

The cause of breast cancer is not yet known exactly, though many risk factors can increase the chance of developing breast cancer.^[1] BRCA1 or BRCA2 tumor suppressor genes and less commonly PALB2, ATM or CHEK2 are among known genes that may increase the risk of developing breast cancer, nevertheless none of the above mentioned genes can cause developing breast cancer.^[1]

 ==Overview==
-[[Epidemiological]] risk factors for a disease can provide important clues as to the [[etiology]] of a disease.  The first work on breast cancer epidemiology was done by [[Janet Lane-Claypon]], who published a comparative study in 1926 of 500 breast cancer cases and 500 control patients of the same background and lifestyle for the British Ministry of Health.{{Fact|date=June 2007}}  Although many epidemiological risk factors have been identified, the cause of any individual breast cancer is often unknowable.  In other words, epidemiological research informs the patterns of breast cancer incidence across certain populations, but not in a given individual.  Approximately 5% of new breast cancers are attributable to hereditary syndromes, while no [[etiology]] is known for the other 95% of cases.<ref name=Madigan_1995>{{cite journal | author = Madigan MP, Ziegler RG, Benichou J, Byrne C, Hoover RN | title = Proportion of breast cancer cases in the United States explained by well-established risk factors | journal = J.
