Abstract
1. Malaysia has a high prevalence of breast cancer (BC), which is 1 in 19 women is at risk with BC (MOH, 2019). 2. Almost 50% of BC cases in Malaysia were diagnosed late at stage III and IV (MOH, 2019). 3. Cancer survival rates remain below the global average due to delays in screening until a diagnosis is made. 4. A total of 339 young adults from the age group 20 to 29 in Malaysia had been first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019. (Malaysia National Cancer Registry, 2019) 5. Early detection of patients with symptoms of cancer allows for early intervention which is made possible by the early discovery of cancer or precancerous changes (Crosby et al., 2022).
