#Pakistan has the highest rate of #breastcancer in Asia and the latest demographic trends suggest that this rate is likely to further increase in the coming years.
Women in Pakistan lack appropriate awareness about diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer due to a range of multifaceted barriers.
They tend to approach health facilities at the last stage of cancer due to a plethora of socio-economic and cultural factors such as age, employment status, lack of awareness, fear of surgery, and belief in traditional treatments, and spiritual healing
