Understanding Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, caused by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal breast cells that form malignant tumors.

It is a major health concern, with diagnosis rates highest in women aged 50–60 in Western countries and 40–50 in Asia. Early detection is crucial, as it significantly increases survival rates, often exceeding 90%.

Several risk factors contribute to breast cancer, including hormonal influences such as early menstruation or late menopause, genetic predisposition, and lifestyle choices like obesity, alcohol consumption, poor diet, and smoking.

Raising awareness and promoting early screening are essential in the fight against breast cancer
