Epidemiology based study on the risk factors of breast cancer research: the Bangladesh perspective

Abstract

Breast cancer starts in the cells of the breast and grows aberrantly. Most often, breast cancer begins in the tissue of the milk ducts or in the lobules that supply milk to the ducts. It is reported as the most recognized cancer in woman and the second highest in terms of mortality rates worldwide.1 Recent global cancer statistics states that breast cancer incidence is growing at a faster rate in developing countries.2 The early diagnosis and detection method of breast cancer treatment is crucial in Bangladesh. It may be possible by making people beware of the risk factors associated with breast cancer and its proactive effect through conducting various epidemiology based public health studies in different regions of Bangladesh. The early identification of cancer increases the chances of successful treatment to a greater extent.
