Breast cancer is a type of cancer that is very common among women worldwide. Because of breast cancer, the survival of women has become hard.  There were 2.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer and 685,000 deaths in 2020 around the globe. According to an estimation, 1,671,149 cases and 521,907 deaths of breast cancer were reported worldwide in 2012. In 2022 so far 43,250 cases have been reported which is predicted to greatly increase by the end of the year.

Breast cancer is more common in rural areas as compared to urban areas. One of the major reasons is women are not careful of their health secondly in rural areas there is a lack of health facilities. The continuous rise in breast cancer cases is a major global issue that is destroying women's lives. Women must be careful of their health and this global health matter should be taken seriously to control the disease.
