Breast Cancer Awareness among Women
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy among women globally, with high mortality rates in India. Early detection of BC significantly increases survival rates and reduces mortality. Raising awareness about BC is crucial for educating the public about screening, symptoms, and treatment to help recognize early signs and seek prompt treatment. This article aims to describe a case of breast primary lymphedema and emphasizes the importance of public awareness regarding risk factors, clinical manifestations, and self-examination for early detection and mortality reduction.
