Breast Cancer
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer develops when cells in the breast begin to grow abnormally and uncontrollably, forming a tumor that may spread to nearby tissues or other parts of the body if left untreated. While the exact cause of breast cancer is not always known, it occurs due to changes or mutations in the DNA of breast cells that disrupt their normal growth and repair processes. These genetic changes can be influenced by a combination of factors, including age, hormonal influences, lifestyle habits, environmental exposures, and inherited genetic mutations such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.
Breast cancer often begins in the milk-producing ducts or lobules of the breast and may initially develop without noticeable symptoms. As the disease progresses, signs such as a breast lump, changes in breast shape or size, skin dimpling, nipple discharge, or persistent breast pain may appear. Regular breast self-examinations, clinical screenings, mammograms, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle play a crucial role in early detection and prevention. Identifying breast cancer at an early stage significantly improves treatment success rates and long-term outcomes, making awareness and regular screening essential for breast health.
