What is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is a disease that develops when abnormal cells in the breast begin to grow and divide uncontrollably, often forming a mass or tumor. Typically, these cells originate in the lining of the milk ducts in the breast tissue.
Who is at risk of Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer risk factors are divided into two categories:
Modifiable. These are lifestyle-related factors that a person can change to reduce their risk of developing breast cancer
Non-modifiable. These are factors that cannot be changed. They are inherent characteristics or past exposures that may increase breast cancer risk:
Modifiable | Non-modifiable |

What are the early signs of breast cancer?
Breast cancer is highly treatable if detected early.
Do regular self-breast exams:
For menstruating individuals, the best time is about a week after the start of your cycle.
If you no longer menstruate, or are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have implants, choose the same day each month for consistency.
For a guide on self-breast examination, watch this video.
Consult with a Doctor if you notice these signs:
Lumps, skin changes, or discharge.
Have multiple breast cancer risk factors.
Are age 40 or older and need to schedule routine mammogram screenings.
