Breast cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the breast tissue. It’s a complex disease with different types and stages. It can occur in both men and women, although it’s more common in women. The exact causes of breast cancer are not fully understood. However, certain factors may increase the risk of developing the disease, such as age, family history, and certain genetic mutations. Other factors, such as alcohol consumption, obesity, and exposure to radiation, may also contribute to an increased risk.

Symptoms include:

• A lump or thickening in the breast or armpit
• Changes in the size, shape, or appearance of the breast
• Nipple changes, such as inversion or discharge
• Breast pain or tenderness

Early detection is key to successful treatment and recovery. We recommend regular breast cancer screening, including mammograms for women over the age of 50, or earlier if there is a family history of breast cancer. Regular breast self-exams can also help with early detection.

Remember, early detection and treatment can greatly increase the chances of successful treatment and recovery.
