matters needing attention

In view of the unclear etiology of breast nodules, there is no clear and effective prevention measures, but we can carry out relevant prevention and control measures for high-risk factors of breast cancer, including reasonable diet and healthy lifestyle. We should encourage breastfeeding, quit smoking and drinking, and avoid taking a large amount of oral contraceptives for a long time. For patients with hereditary breast cancer, we can consider the detection of related breast cancer susceptibility genes, develop individualized breast cancer screening program, and perform preventive mastectomy when necessary.
