Brief Summary
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women worldwide, and is the leading cause of death from cancer among women globally. Mammography is the standard method for early detection of BC in many countries, with over 1.3 million annually new diagnosed cases.In Egypt, breast cancer is the most common cancer in females accounting for 38.8% of all female cancers.
