October is the month of breast cancer awareness, so it is very important for us to give you all the essential information about the disease in a nutshell. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of prevention, since breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide that can be treated successfully at an early stage.
Since the risk of breast cancer increases with age, it is necessary for women over the age of 40 to participate regularly (every two years) in mammography screening.
