Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide. It occurs when abnormal cells in the breast grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor. While it can also affect men, it is significantly more common in women. Early detection and timely treatment are crucial for better outcomes.

- Change in the size, shape, or appearance of the breast
