Sudden onset of mutations in the genes that are responsible for the growth and division of

a chaotic manner. Breast cancer typically develops in the ducts and lobules of the breast and
are also found to occur in the fibrous connective tissues that are located in the breast. The
report found that alcohol consumption, smoking habit and overweight were major risk factors
that predisposed Jade to breast cancer. Furthermore, she might have also become susceptible
