Breast Cancer May Be Hereditary

British scientists have discovered that breast cancer may be hereditary, with mothers passing it on their daughters.

To come up to this conclusion experts have monitored the families of women who suffer from the disease.

Women, who have a relative suffering from breast cancer, are three times more susceptible to the disease than the rest, the research showed.

A campaign for raising the awareness of the risk of breast cancer has been going on for more than a year in Bulgaria with many local stars joining in to urge women to take routine tests.
