Breast cancer screening refers to the process of using specific tests and procedures to detect breast cancer in individuals who do not currently have symptoms. The goal of screening is to identify breast cancer at an early and more treatable stage when interventions are most effective.

Breast cancer is a type of cancer that originates in the cells of the breast tissue.

It occurs when abnormal cells in the breast start to grow and divide uncontrollably, forming a tumor.

Over time, these cancerous cells can invade nearby tissues and may even spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system.

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women, although it can also occur in men, albeit less frequently.
