Breast cancer
Worldwide,
breast cancer
is the most common type of cancer in women and the second highest in terms of mortality rates. Men can also develop breast cancer, although incidences are rare. About 90% of all breast cancer cases start in the tissue of the milk ducts or in the lobules that supply milk to the ducts. It is possible to diagnose breast cancer at an early stage. The early detection of cancer greatly increases the chances of successful treatment.

Nipple becoming dimpled, discharge from the nipple, or an ulcer on the nipple
Red rash on the breast, with the appearance of orange peel
