Breast cancer continues to be the most prevalent form of cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women globally. About 1 in 19 women in Malaysia are at risk of breast cancer. Similar to many cancers, the likelihood of successful treatment significantly improves when breast cancer is identified and diagnosed in its early stages. Stay breast aware by understanding your breasts’ normal look and feel to promptly seek medical advice if any changes occur.
