Breast cancer is the most common cancer. According to medical statistics, 10 % of women worldwide are infected with this disease. In most cases, breast cancer is seen in women over 45 years of age. Although various factors contribute to the development of breast cancer, hereditary predisposition and hormonal changes play a major role. The risk of cancer is particularly high as a result of the effects of estrogenic hormones. The development of the disease is slow, without symptoms for a long time, and in some cases the disease can develop rapidly. Effective treatment of breast cancer can only be achieved if it is detected early.
