Cervical cancer: A summary of the diagnostic and risk factors

Breast cancer continues to be a major worldwide health issue, affecting millions of people annually. The many risk factors and diagnostic techniques that are essential to comprehending and treating breast cancer have been highlighted in this review, underscoring the disease's complexity. Moreover, advance-ments in diagnostic techniques have significantly improved early detection and treatment outcomes. Mammography is essential for detecting breast cancer in its early stages, allowing for timely intervention and potentially improving patient prognoses. It works in tandem with new technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging and molecular testing. Going forward, it will be crucial to keep researching new risk factors, improving screening techniques, and creating focused treatments.
