Breast Cancer Awareness

Abstract

Breast Cancer (BC) is a global health issue and it impacts women around the world. Breast Cancer accounts for 11.7% of all newly diagnosed cancer cases and has become the leading cause of cancer worldwide. In the earliest stages, the survival rate is nearly 100 percent. However, for tumors detected in later stages, that rate drops to around 25 percent. Breast Cancer Research Foundation indicated that due to the progress in advocacy, awareness, early intervention, prompt diagnosis and treatment, there has been an overall 40 percent decline in breast cancer deaths over the last 30 years.
