Top myths about breast cancer and screening
Breast cancer afflicts 29.6% of women here in Singapore, but how much do you really know about it?
Here are some common myths about breast cancer, breast screening and the truths behind them.
How to protect yourself
Breast cancer doesn’t always come with symptoms in its early stages, which is why proactive care is key.
Protecting yourself starts with awareness and action. The more familiar you are with your body and the more consistently you monitor it, the better your chances of catching changes early — when treatment is most effective.
Felt something odd? You may be at risk of breast cancer.
While not all breast lumps are cancerous, it's essential to be aware of your body and seek medical advice if you notice any changes.
