Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer, and the second most common cause of cancer-related death in females (Fig. 7.1). It is an important cause of morbidity and mortality despite recent developments in early diagnosis and treatment. Early diagnosis is common in developed countries due to regular screening programs [1].
