Breast Cancer

Breast cancer forms in the cells of the breasts. It is the most common cancer in women globally and can also occur in men. It can be detected early through mammography screening.

The most common symptoms include: Breast lump or thickening; change in breast size or shape; dimpling of the skin; nipple discharge. Early recognition is key to prompt diagnosis and effective treatment.

No, Breast Cancer is not contagious. It cannot spread through casual contact. However, certain risk factors and genetic predispositions may increase susceptibility.

Treatment options include: Surgery (lumpectomy; mastectomy); radiation therapy. Treatment should always be guided by a qualified Oncology specialist. Do not self-medicate.

While Breast Cancer cannot always be fully prevented, several measures can reduce risk: Regular mammograms; self breast exams; healthy weight.

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms of Breast Cancer. This is a serious condition — go to the emergency room or call 112 if symptoms are severe or rapidly worsening.
