Breast cancer: Importance of regular screening, factors that contribute to cancer recurrence

Breast cancer is a form of cancer that begins in the breast. These cells grow abnormally and out of control and eventually leads to the formation of tumours. When these tumours are not treated, it can spread throughout the body and become fatal. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO),  there were 2.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer and 670 000 deaths globally in 2022.
