Breast Cancer - THE REALITY WE MUST FACE
Dr. Huma Majeed Khan, Consultant Breast Surgeon, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre
Though life at any stage is important and meaningful but a woman’s life is most productive and important from the age 30-55 years. Whether it’s her work career or her role as a home maker or raising a family, this time is vital for everyone around her. The tragedy of breast cancer is that it affects this particular age group as one of the most important diseases and cause of death all over the world.
Pakistani women have the highest risk in this region of the world to develop breast cancer and for some still unknown reasons are even affected at an earlier age than the western women. This is our reality and we have to do everything possible to overcome this disease and its consequences at the state level, as doctors and health providers and as women who are at risk.
