Breast cancer is a disease in which cells in the breast grow out of control (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>). There are different kinds of breast cancer and the kind of breast cancer one has depends on which cells in the breast turn into cancer. It affects both females and males.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breast cancer is one of the most silent but deadly diseases among women, especially adult women. But more importantly, cases of breast cancer are on the rise in Ghana, with older women being at more risk, (The prevalence and predictive factors of breast cancer screening among older Ghanaian women<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me quickly add that, it is factually accurate that in the past, breast cancer was only prevalent among older women, but the trend has changed. Many young people, particularly females, are now suffering from the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the 22nd of October 2021, employees of Jobberman climaxed pink month in grand styles. They were in pink clothing to show solidarity to all who have been affected by breast cancer. On that same day, a talk on breast cancer was organized for employees which were delivered by Dr Abigail Yeboah and her able team from Madina Polyclinic. The essence of the talk was to share insights on the causes of breast cancer, its effects, and treatments, after which free breast screening was done for all employees present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are excerpts of the lessons from the talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
