FAQs


It’s important to consult a healthcare provider promptly for further evaluation. Most breast changes are not cancer, but early detection and timely treatment are crucial for better outcomes.


Breast cancer stages range from 0 (non-invasive, such as ductal carcinoma in situ, DCIS) to IV (advanced, where cancer has spread to distant organs). Staging helps guide treatment decisions and prognosis.


While not all cases of breast cancer can be prevented, adopting a healthy lifestyle (including regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol intake, and avoiding smoking) may help reduce the risk.
