乳癌資訊from Susan G. Komen for the Cure

Breast cancer survivors should share their concerns about potential increased family risk of disease with their sisters, daughters and mothers. Family members should consider seeing a health care provider to have their risk of breast cancer assessed. For those who find out that they are at higher risk, the drugs tamoxifen and raloxifene may be options for lowering their risk. In addition, women with a family history of breast cancer should talk to their health care providers about getting screened for breast cancer at an early age. While this will not lower the chance of the disease occurring, it may increase the chance of finding any disease that develops at its earliest, most treatable stage. For more on strategies for those at higher risk of disease.

乳癌生還者應該向她們的姐妹、女兒以及媽媽分享她們對於潛在家庭疾病的關心。家庭成員應該考慮去接受罹患乳癌風險評估的醫療服務。對於那些發現自己處於高危險群的人，有tamoxifen 以及 raloxifene 這兩種藥可選擇，能降低她們的風險。另外，有乳癌家族史的女性應該和她們的醫療服務員討論關於早期乳癌篩檢。雖然這並不會降低發生疾病的機會，但有可能會增加早期發現疾病的機會，多數是可治療的階段。高危險群的人想要知道更多的策略。

Although breast cancer is more common among women, male relatives of breast cancer survivors are also at an increased risk of the disease. For more on male breast cancer.

Family members should also be told that certain changes in diet and other health behaviors can promote overall health and might also help lower their breast cancer risk. Not only may the following behaviors reduce the risk of breast cancer, but they also protect against other cancers and major disorders, such as heart disease and diabetes.

家庭成員應該也要被告知在某些飲食上的變化，以及其他健康活動，會促進健康，和也許會幫助降低她們罹患乳癌的風險。以下行為不僅會減少乳癌風險，也會保護身體對抗其他癌症以及重大疾病，譬如心臟病以及糖尿病。

l   Be physically active.

     保持體能活動。

l   Maintain a healthy weight.

     保持健康的體重。

l   Cut down on “bad” fats (saturated and trans fats), and consume more “good” fats (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, like olive and canola oil).

     減低不良脂肪的吸收（飽和脂肪和反式脂肪），並且多吸收良性脂肪（多元不飽和脂肪和單元不飽和脂肪，如橄欖油和菜籽油）。

l   Take a daily multivitamin with folic acid (often called folate on nutrition labels).

     每日攝取綜和維他命與葉酸（通常會寫成 folate 在營養標籤上）。

l   If you drink, limit alcohol intake to less than one alcoholic drink a day (for women and fewer than two drinks a day for men). (Those who drink alcohol should try to get adequate folic acid, either through a multivitamin or rich food sources like oranges, orange juice or fortified breakfast cereals.)

     有飲酒習慣的話，一天只能喝少於一杯的量（這是對女性來說，男性則一天不得超過兩杯）。有飲酒習慣的人每天應該要攝取夠的葉酸，像是綜合維他命片，或是豐富的食物來源，如：柳橙、柳橙汁、多葉的綠色蔬菜和添加維生素的榖類早餐。

l   Choose to breastfeed children instead of formula feeding them, if possible.

     如果可能，就選擇母乳來取代奶粉來餵小孩。
