    • Breast Cancer

    • All women regardless of age and ethnicity are at risk of developing breast cancer. It is among the top three deadliest types of cancer affecting women.
     
    • It starts in the breast tissue made up of glands for milk production (lobules) and ducts that connect the lobules to the nipples.
     
    • Did you know that men too are at risk and can also develop breast cancer?

    Ductal Carcinoma In-Situ

    Non-invasive type. The abnormal cells are present in the lining of the breast milk duct.

    Invasive Ductal Carcinoma

    The abnormal cells that originate from the lining of the breast milk duct invades surrounding tissues.

    Metastatic Breast Cancer

    This type of cancer has spread beyond the breast. It usually affects lungs, bones or brains.

    Inflammatory Breast Cancer

    Difficult to detect as it's rare as it sometimes does not develop a tumour.

    Age

    Your risk factors increase with age. They usually go up from 50 years and above.

    Genetics

    The most common known gene mutations are breast cancer genes 1 and 2 (BRCA1 and BRCA2). Mutations on these genes are linked to an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer. For men, the risk of breast and prostate cancer increase if these mutations are present.

    High breast density

    Dense breasts have less fatty tissue and more non-fatty tissue. Dense breasts also have more gland tissues. Breast density can be inherited. One way to measure breast density is the thickness of tissue on a mammogram. However, women younger than 40 should first consult their healthcare professional before considering mammograms.

    Local

    Confined to the breast with an estimated 5-year survival rate of up to 99%. Early diagnosis is crucial as rate decreases by 75% at distant stage.

    Regional

    Surrounding tissues or nearby lymph nodes are affected.

    Distant

    Cancer that has metastasized to organs or lymph nodes above the collarbone.

    Get enough sleep    

    Limit alcohol intake

    Eat food that promote health

    Regular checks at home and clinic follow-up if you notice changes

    Exercise at least 3x a week and include cardio and weight training

    Quit or control smoking habits
