Importance of Breast Cancer Awareness and Early Detection Highlighted by Onemiye

Onemiye, the founder of Silver Cross Healthcare, stresses the significance of breast cancer awareness and early detection to save lives. Breast cancer is a common disease affecting women globally, with various types such as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC).

Factors like genetics, lifestyle habits, and hormonal influences can increase the risk of breast cancer. Detection methods include self-examination, regular check-ups, mammograms, ultrasounds, MRIs, and biopsies.

Treatment options depend on the cancer type and stage, ranging from surgery to targeted drug therapies.
