	Breast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The development of a woman's breasts, during puberty, is caused by sex hormones, chiefly estrogen (This hormone has been demonstrated to cause the development of woman-like, enlarged breasts in men, a condition called gynecomastia, and is sometimes used deliberately for this effect in male-to-female sex reassignment surgery).
		Virginal breast hypertrophy is a condition which involves excessive growth of the breasts during puberty, and in some cases the continued growth beyond the usual pubescent age.
		Opinions on the exposure of breasts is often dependent on the place and context, and in some Western societies exposure of breasts on a beach may be considered acceptable, although in town centres, for example, it is usually considered indecent.

	Breast
		The reason for the increase in breast cancer incidence is not clearly understood, but may be explained, in part, by a 75 percent rise in use of mammography (MMWR, 1990), since much of the increase in invasive breast cancer has been for the lowest-stage tumors.
		Studies of migrants who immigrate from low-incidence areas to high-incidence areas have found that the rates of breast cancer increase to that of the new country, reflecting changes in lifestyle and environmental factors, showing that international differences in rates are not due to genetic factors.
		While many factors have been associated with the risk of breast cancer, most of the "established" risk factors for breast cancer are associated with only a moderate two to three times increased risk, suggesting that multiple factors may play a role in each woman's disease and that unrecognized factors may exist.
