Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosis in women aged and the second most common cause of cancer death in women. Global rates of onset of breast cancer have risen steadily over the last twenty years. Breast cancer is also an emerging problem among the women in Bangladesh. A Pubmed search was performed using the search terms “young” or “early onset”, and “breast cancer” and “modifiable risk”. Titles and abstracts from peer-reviewed publications were screened for relevance. This review presents evidence for potentially modifiable risk factors of breast cancer risk in young women, including lifestyle factors (physical activity, body habitus, alcohol use, smoking, shift work and socioeconomic factors), reproductive and hormonal factors and iatrogenic risks. The extent to which these factors are truly modifiable is discussed and interactions between genetic and non-genetic risk factors are also addressed. Health care professionals have an opportunity to inform young women about breast health and risk when presenting at a “teachable moment”, including the benefits of physical activity and alcohol habits as risk factor. More focussed discussions regarding individual personal risk and benefit should accompany conversations regarding reproductive health and take into consideration both non-modifiable and iatrogenic BC risk factors. However if the breast cancer disease can be identified early then the treatment will be easier. But if it is identified in later stage it will be very much difficult to cure breast cancer. For this reason women should self examined their breasts if they are not able to do it they should go to doctors for diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.
