It is estimated that 1 in every 8 women will develop breast cancer during their lifetime, reports say. Breast cancer is the most common malignant disease among women. GLOBOCAN reported that in 2022, more than 2.2 million women worldwide were diagnosed with breast cancer, with over 666,000 deaths. To detect the disease early, all women of reproductive age (from 18 years old) should perform regular breast self-examinations. Women over 40 should undergo breast cancer screening with breast ultrasound or mammography.
