乳癌是影響新加坡及全球婦女最常見的癌症之一。當乳房中的異常細胞無法控制地生長，形成腫塊或腫瘤時，就會開始罹患乳癌。雖然乳癌主要影響女性，但男性也可能罹患此疾病。主要有三種亞型：荷爾蒙受體陽性 (ER/PR-陽性)、HER2-陽性和三重陰性乳癌。每種類型的表現不同，需要特定的治療方法。
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Singapore. One in 12 women will get breast cancer in their lifetime (Singapore Cancer Registry Annual Report 2022).
In 2022 (GLOBOCAN), breast cancer made up 30% of all cancers in Singaporean women, with an age standardised rate of 62.33 per 100,000 women in 2023.
(1) It is also the leading cause of cancer deaths among women. Between 2013 and 2023, Singapore’s age standardised mortality rate (ASMR) fell from 14.97 to 12.47 per 100,000, a 16.7% decline reflecting better access to treatments and interventions.
This is why early detection and timely treatment of breast cancer are crucial to improve survival and quality of life.
定期篩檢是及早發現乳癌的最有效方法，此時治療效果最佳。在新加坡，乳癌通常在較後的階段才被診斷出來，因此提高警覺和及時篩檢就顯得特別重要。
診斷包括幾個步驟：
A small invasive tumour with little or no lymph node involvement
Cancer that has spread (metastasised) to other organs, such as bone, liver, lung, or brain
治療方法取決於癌症分期、亞型和患者的情況。在新加坡，乳癌有多種治療方案可供選擇。具體的治療方案取決於多種因素，例如癌症分期、腫瘤等級、患者的整體健康狀況以及其他個人因素。
