Knowledge Regarding Breast Cancer and Its Management

Abstract

As the most frequent tumour worldwide, breast cancer continues to be a global public health concern. Breast cancer detection and screening have improved as a result of increased public awareness of the disease, increased attention from the general population, and advancements in breast imaging. Breast cancer is the most common cause of death for women and a potentially fatal illness for women. Over the past 20 years, research on breast cancer has led to a remarkable progress in our knowledge of the disease and the development of more effective treatments. With breast cancer accounting for 23% of all cancer-related deaths in postmenopausal women, it is one of the most common malignant diseases overall. This is a worldwide problem now, but because women are so careless when it comes to self-examination and professional breast exams, the disease is still detected in its advanced stages. The structure of the breast, risk factors, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and stages of breast cancer are all covered in this review. Additionally, breast cancer treatment options include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgery, targeted therapies, hormone replacement therapy, chemotherapy, complementary therapies, gene therapy, and stem cell therapy.
