Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer among women worldwide, accounting for 1 in 4 cases. It is the most frequent cancer amongst both sexes and is the leading cause of death from cancer in women.
Breast cancers can start from different parts of the breast. The breast is an organ that sits on top of the upper ribs and chest muscles. There is a left and right breast and each one has mainly glands, ducts, and fatty tissue. In women, the breast makes and delivers milk to feed newborns and infants. The amount of fatty tissue in the breast determines the size of each breast.
Survival rates for breast cancer are very high when the cancer is detected early. Unfortunately, 50 to 80% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage. As per a report breast cancer can only diagnose when it is detected on time.
