Breast cancer, a potentially life-threatening condition, can be detected early through screening tests, offering a higher chance of recovery. While breast cancer screening doesn't prevent the disease, it plays a crucial role in identifying signs and symptoms. Typically, breast cancer can be visualized through x-rays or felt as a lump and can manifest as either benign or metastatic. Screening tests for breast cancer are particularly recommended for women aged between 50-70 years, as they are more susceptible to the disease.
