What is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that starts from cells of the breast. This is a group of cancer cells that may invade surrounding tissues or spread to other areas of the body. The disease occurs almost entirely in women but men can get it too!
When cells in the breast grow out of control, they develop into cancer. If the cancer has not spread beyond the breasts, it is known as pre-invasive breast cancer. The most common types are the ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS).
Most breast cancer are diagnosed at invasive stages which consist of several types:
- Early Breast Cancer where it is confined in the breast but may have spread to one or more lynph nodes in the armpit.
- Locally advanced breast cancer where it may have spread to places near the breasts such as skin, muscles and chest but not found in other parts of the body.
- Metastatic (Advanced) Breast cancer where the cancer cells have spread to other areas of the body like lungs, bones or liver.

Bagus Nel! Masih ramai yang tak aware pasal pemeriksaan breast cancer ni. Hehe supposed mmg kena check regularly sbb self check je kan
ReplyDeleteSetiap Oktober pasti kita teringat kempen Breast Cancer Awareness dan aunty kita yang sememangnya penghidap Kanser Payudara. Teringat dia melalui semuanya bersama keluarga. Sampai akhir hayat dia. Pencegahan awal amat penting. At least kita ada masa utk do something dengan keluarga tercinta dan best friend yang jujur berkawan. Kan?
ReplyDeleteThis post reminds me that we also have no bra day for female whose sufferred from breast cancer.
ReplyDeleteI always reminds my sisters about this and I am thankful that they are having theirs examined yearly too. I hope all are doing it - you must love yourself before loving someone else.
ReplyDeleteYaa my Mum cancer fighter dan paased away bulan lepas..cancer payudara stage 4.. now i memang aware dengan benda ni..sebab takut kann...
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great posting and reminder to us all! Indeed sometimes most of us take the checking part lightly, whereas it should be done regularly. It’s great that more men have taking part in this campaign too, since they’re indeed can be at risk as well.
ReplyDeleteGood information! I need to check too. Day lama x check. Thank you for sharing this information and remind me.
ReplyDeleteMemang benar pepatah tentang , "lebih baik mencegah daripada mengobati". Karena dasarnya setiap orang saling membantu. Terimakasih telah mengingatkan :)
ReplyDeleteI memang takut penyakit ni. Mintak dijauhkan. Teringat tahun lepas ada sorang untie ni tak boleh terima kenyataan dia kena cancer then terjun sungai muar. So penting awareness dari awal.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this. I think most people (women especially) are aware of the importance of self examination, but it's good to have reminders like this.
ReplyDeleteGood knowledge to learn about. Penting juga untuk semak dan kenalpasti tubuh badan kita dari awal kan. Supaya dpt ambil langkah2 awal mcm ni
ReplyDeleteThank you fo sharing this. Most people tend to forget doing this self assessment every 6 - 12 months. It's good they created an awareness as such.
ReplyDeleteThank you sharing this. Bukan wanita je patut tahu. Suami kepada wanita pon perlu tahu supaya boleh bagi support kepada wifenya yg pengidap breast cancer
ReplyDeleteHi Nel! It's incredible when a man sharing and remind us about this. Prevention is better than cure! Always. A friend of mine had shared by consuming 4Life Malaysia Transfer Factor the so called 'smart molecule' is one of best way as supplement and treat cancer too. For all ages. Wallahualam.
ReplyDeletebagus perkongsian ni. mulakan dari rumah. and boleh jadi awareness juga yang breast cancer juga dihidapi oleh kaum lelaki
ReplyDeletebanyak benda lagi tak tahu pasal kanser payudara ni. thanks for sharing the info bro. lelaki pon memang kena ambil tahu ni. huhu
ReplyDeleteI support this good cause, must spread the awareness and urge more people the check.
ReplyDeletei pun dah check.. lelaki pun kena check juga tau.. bagus ada kempen macam ni..
ReplyDeleteBagusnya ada kempen Breast Cancer Awareness ni.. Bukan semua orang alert tentang benda penting ni.. moga semuanya jaga diri dan sentiasa pastikan tentang ini dari awal lagi
