Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer and cause of death in women. However, it is often detected late even though mammogram has been recommended as an effective screening test. Awareness of the importance of early detection and screening of breast cancer is vital to prevent morbidity and mortality. National Health and Morbidity Survey 2019 reported that 47.9% of breast cancer cases were detected late (in stage 3 and 4) and 3 out of 4 women in Malaysia never had mammogram screening before1
