Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women worldwide and its prevention remains a global health priority. While genetic predisposition—particularly BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations— often dominates public discourse, recent evidence suggests that lifestyle factors significantly influence risk, even in genetically susceptible individuals. This article summarizes findings from Zhang et al. (2024), published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI), which evaluated the combined impact of genetic risk and lifestyle behaviours on early-onset breast cancer.
