href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8824427\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">fully understood<\/a>, but some factors that may increase the risk of developing TNBC include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Age: TNBC tends to occur younger than other breast cancer types.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Family history: A family history of breast or ovarian cancer may increase the risk of TNBC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BRCA1 mutation: Women with a mutation in the BRCA1 gene have a higher risk of developing TNBC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Obesity: Obesity has been linked to an increased risk of TNBC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reproductive factors: Women with their first menstrual cycle at early or late menopause have a higher risk of TNBC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pregnancy: Women who have never been pregnant or had their first pregnancy after age 30 have a higher risk of TNBC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that having one or more risk factors does not necessarily mean a person will develop TNBC.&nbsp;<br><br>Regular <a href=\"https:\/\/WowRxPharmacy.com\/blog\/womens-health\/breast-cancer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">breast cancer
