❓ What Is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer occurs when abnormal breast cells grow uncontrollably, forming a tumour that can spread to other parts of the body if untreated.
🧬 Where It Begins:
🔬 Most cases start in the milk ducts (ductal carcinoma) or lobules (lobular carcinoma).
🔬 When cells invade nearby tissue or travel through blood or lymph vessels, the cancer becomes invasive or metastatic.
⚕️ In Ethiopia 🇪🇹 (BMC Cancer, 2024):
📊Ductal carcinoma: 80–90% of cases
📊Estrogen receptor–positive (ER⁺): ~65% , cancer cells grow in response to estrogen; respond well to hormonal therapy such as Tamoxifen
📊Triple-negative: 15–20% , lacks hormone receptors; often more aggressive and affects younger women
💊 Treatment (WHO, CDC, Ethiopia 2024):
Combination of
Surgery (mastectomy or breast-conserving)
Radiation therapy
Chemotherapy / Hormonal / Targeted therapy
🩺. When detected early, over 90% of breast cancers are curable.
