Cancer Type
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer begins when cells in the breast grow out of control and form a tumour. It most often starts in the milk ducts or lobules and may spread to lymph nodes or other organs if not found early.
Early detection improves outcomes. If you notice warning signs, see a doctor promptly or visit a World Cancer Care screening camp.
