Abstract:

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer developed in women. It is the major cause of deaths due to cancer in women. It is the second most common cancer after skin cancer. Human cells grow and multiply through cell division to form new cells as the body needs them to replace and repair the old, dead cells. But in breast cancer, the breast cells start growing and multiplying abnormally and at a faster rate. The risk of breast cancer increases as the age increases, majorly after 50 years of age. Most breast cancers are found in women who are older than 50 years. The treatment of breast cancer includes surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and radiation depending on the stage of cancer. The risk of having breast cancer decreases when we follow healthy habits like proper diet, healthy weight, being fit and active, avoiding consumption of tobacco and alcohol.
