Do you know that Breast cancer ranks the most common cancer among women worldwide, with one in every nine women diagnosed with it? In Pakistan, it stands out with one of the highest incidence rates in Asia.

While you may not always have control over preventing breast cancer, early detection is a powerful tool. By taking these simple steps, you can actively participate in safeguarding your breast health and ensuring that any potential issues are identified and addressed promptly:
1. Monthly Self-Examination: Women under 40 should carry out monthly self-examination.
2. Yearly Mammography Screening: Women over 40 should get yearly mammography screening.
