Abstract

The project work was a preventive message to Bangladeshi women that BPA was a major environmental risk factor in causing breast cancer. Therefore, it was clear from our findings that young, job-holding, and married urban women were more likely to suffer from breast cancer. Compared to the average values of BPA (4.0 ng/ml) from control adult females, i.e., noncancerous patients, the average BPA in the serum of cancer patients was 4 to 7 times higher (17.0 to 34.0 ng/ml) under different age groups. Complications of breast cancer were statistically significant with the concentration of BPA in the patient's blood serum. Higher levels of BPA increased the severity of tenderness in the affected breast and physical weakness. Therefore, they would have been concerned about using plastic materials to reduce the risk of breast cancer. All over the world, the emergence of these diseases mobilised science in new ways to think in different dimensions to solve the problem.
