Breast care is important for many reasons. Regular breast examination and screening play an important role in detecting changes or lumps in your body, which may alert one to the possibility of breast cancer. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer for women in Singapore. The risk of breast cancer increases with age, especially for women in their 40s and 50s, but younger women may also be affected. Early detection saves lives – breast cancer can be detected by screening and can be treated early to improve the chances of cure.
