Breast cancer remains the number one cancer affecting women in Singapore. Each year, about 2,165 women are newly diagnosed with breast cancer, and about 436 die from the disease. The chances of surviving breast cancer increase with early detection. Remember to go for regular mammogram and do your monthly breast self-exam
