One of the most common cancers in women is breast cancer, and oestrogen receptor overexpression is responsible for 70% of breast cancer cases (ER). According to research, breast cancer (BC) survivorship is rising quickly. In keeping with earlier research on the symptoms experienced by breast cancer survivors, exhaustion, sleep disturbance, mental agony, and functional impairment were the most common and severe symptoms. As for challenges, In low-income countries, where breast cancer is less common, the population is younger, and access to high-quality care is less common, the mammography's value has not been studied. Breast cancer is treated with lumpectomies, interstitial implants, and axillary node dissection. With response rates of 60%, cytotoxic therapy has reached a plateau in effectiveness, and multiple trials have demonstrated that tamoxifen therapy used after progression is similarly beneficial. In Malaysia, one in 19 women are at danger, compared to one in 8 in Europe and the US. Breast cancer is the second biggest cause of cancer-related deaths among women globally, affecting an estimated one million people annually. As with most cancers, breast cancer treatment outcomes are improved the sooner it is found and identified.
