Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide — but with awareness and early detection, outcomes have improved dramatically.
At Dr. Norran Hussein’s clinic, we believe that informed women make empowered health choices.

What Is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer begins when abnormal cells in the breast start growing uncontrollably, forming a lump or mass.
It can occur in both women and, less commonly, in men. The disease varies — some types grow slowly, while others spread more aggressively — which makes early diagnosis essential.

Who Is at Risk?

While breast cancer can affect anyone, certain factors may increase the risk:

• Family history of breast or ovarian cancer

• Age (risk increases after 40)

• Hormonal factors or prolonged hormone therapy

• Obesity or lack of physical activity

• Past exposure to radiation

Regular mammograms and clinical exams can help identify cancer before symptoms appear.

Early Detection Saves Lives

The earlier breast cancer is detected, the more treatment options are available and the higher the survival rate.
Women are encouraged to perform monthly breast self-exams, report any unusual changes, and undergo regular imaging as advised by their specialist.

If you notice a lump or persistent change, book an appointment with Dr. Norran Hussein for expert evaluation and personalized guidance.
