Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among women.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease.
While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same.
Breast cancer is a group of cancer cells (malignant tumor) that starts in the cells of the breast.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among women.
All people, whether male or female, are born with some breast cells and tissue that have the possibility to develop into cancer. However, breast cancer in men is rare, with only about 2,190 diagnoses each year.
Although most people who develop breast cancer will not be able to pinpoint one specific cause, scientists have learned much about risk factors that may indicate a stronger likelihood for cancer.
Breast cancer tumors can be categorised by the size, type of cells and the characteristics that fuel its growth.
