Breast cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the breast grow and multiply uncontrollably, forming a tumour.
If left untreated, breast cancer can spread to other parts of the body, making it an absolute life-threatening disease.
It develops when the DNA of breast cells is damaged, causing them to grow and multiply abnormally.
