A new study suggests that some breast cancer, if left untreated, could regress on their own. Unfortunately, this question will never be definitively answered because it’s considered unethical not to treat breast cancer.
The study looked at two groups of women: One group of women aged 50-64 had a mammogram once every two years between 1996 and 2001 (Meaning three mammograms).

You can’t change most things that increase your odds of getting breast cancer. But building the following five priorities into your life may cut your risk—or make it more likely you’ll find cancer early, when it’s more easily treated.

2. Exercise at least three times a week (more often is better).

5. Have a mammogram once a year after 40.
