Understanding Breast Cancer
Cancer is a broad term for a class of diseases characterized by abnormal cells that grow and invade healthy cells in the body. Breast cancer starts in the cells of the breast as a group of cancer cells that can then invade surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to other areas of the body.
Breast cancer occurs when malignant tumors develop in the breast. These cells can spread by breaking away from the original tumor and entering blood vessels or lymph vessels, which branch into tissues throughout the body. When cancer cells travel to other parts of the body and begin damaging other tissues and organs, the process is called metastasis.
The breast cancer awareness month is still projecting and going on in the various hospitals and health centers around you.If you have not had your breast screened, I will urge to do so as early as possible because the exercise is ending on the 31st of OCTOBER 2022, which is next week Monday.
Breast cancer screening is not only for females, but males are also to take part in this exercise because most men have died as a result of breast cancer. Let’s save our and life of others for a better world. Let’s not die out of ignorance, educate someone on the dangers of breast cancer and why it is important to get your breast screened.
