Breast cancer, also called mammary cancer, is the uncontrolled growth of breast cells due to abnormal changes in genes that play a role in cell division. Early detection is a very important first step to find out early the presence of tumours or lumps in the breast so as to reduce the death rate due to cancer. The high incidence of mammary cancer is due to the lack of awareness in women to conduct early detection of the breast if they experience abnormalities such as lumps.
