Description
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the world, with incidence rising every year. In 2020, according to GLOBOCAN, Pakistan had 25,928 breast cancer cases, estimated using data from India. In order to obtain comprehensive insights into the epidemiology, risk factors, and disease burden of breast cancer in Pakistan [1, 2], we embarked on this systematic review. We aim to bridge the data gap and provide clinicians and policymakers with a reliable and comprehensive snapshot of breast cancer in Pakistan.
