Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. These cells can invade and damage surrounding tissues and organs, and can also spread to other parts of the body (metastasize).
Breast cancer.
Breast cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the breast grow and multiply uncontrollably, forming a tumor. If this growth is left untreated, the cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body and this spreading can be called metastasize.

This was really informative. I picked something from one of the causes of cancer which was lifestyle factors. Sometimes, the way we live is important. We need to prioritize our health above all. This will ensure a least likelihood of encountering such a disease.
I think it should, thank you for reading.
You're welcome
Self-examination as a preventive measure is the best way to detect this terrible disease, as the data you describe shows, as well as during menopause, to build confidence and peace of mind. Thank you for sharing such valuable information.

Come get MOONed!
I lost my best friend to cancer September 2023, her family never had a history of Cancer, it came as a surprise and a very aggressive form. One tragic significant factor was it took a very long time to get the diagnosis since the Covid lock downs delayed diagnostics to a crawl. A diagnosis took months to get, by then the Cancer had become stage 4.
