Breast Cancer is a disease where cells in the breast grow out of control. It can affect both women and men, though it's far more common in women.
Key Points:
- Symptoms: Lump in the breast, changes in breast shape or size, ni**le discharge, or skin dimpling.
- Causes: Genetics, age, hormones, lifestyle, and environmental factors.
- Diagnosis: Mammogram, ultrasound, biopsy.
- Treatment: Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy, or targeted drugs.
- Prevention & Awareness:
- Regular self-exams.
- Annual screenings after age 40 (or earlier if at risk).
- Healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, avoiding smoking/alcohol).
October is globally recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, promoting early detection, support, and research.
