The female breast is a mark of beauty and a source of confidence (or not) for women. When afflicted with disease or symptoms, however, it becomes a source of fear and anxiety. Like other parts of the human body, appropriate diagnosis and treatment is essential to reduce both morbidity and mortality.
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Misinformation and myths contribute significantly to late diagnosis and high mortality rates.
A Guide to Breast Diseases aims to dispel these myths and provide comprehensive, accessible information on breast health and diseases.
