Breast cancer is a type of cancer that forms in the cells of the breast.

Breast cancer diagnosis

If breast cancer is identified in the early stages, it can be cured and the patient can have a 99-100% survival rate. However, most women ignore the early signs and only visit the hospital when the cancer reaches the advanced stages. In these stages, breast cancer treatment might not be effective in fully curing the cancer. A mammogram for breast cancer is a simple test that can help diagnose breast cancer even in the early stages.
