What Is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the breast grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor that can invade surrounding tissues or spread to other parts of the body. It can affect both women and men, though it is far more common in women.
Breast cancer is highly treatable when detected early, making awareness, screening, and timely medical consultation crucial.
