Breast Cancer

It happens when cells in the breast tissue that aren't normal grow out of control and create a lump or mass. Over the years, survival rates have gone up a lot thanks to early detection and awareness.
Age, family history, genetic mutations like BRCA1 and BRCA2, being overweight, having hormonal imbalances, and living a certain way, such as drinking alcohol or smoking, can all increase your risk of getting breast cancer.
A lump in the breast or underarm, changes in the size or shape of the breast, discharge from the nipple, or dimpling of the skin are all common warning symptoms. Regular self-exams, mammograms, and clinical breast exams are important strategies for finding problems early.
Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or targeted biological treatments may be part of the treatment plan, depending on the kind and stage of cancer. Personalised medicine has made treatments better for many patients.
Staying healthy, getting regular checkups, and knowing your family's medical history can all lower your risk and help you get treatment sooner, which dramatically increases your chances of success.
