BAHAWALPUR, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 22nd Nov, 2017 ) :A seminar session on breast cancer awareness for female was held at the Islamia University of Bahawalpur . Breast cancer is the leading female cancer in the world including Pakistan resulting in about 500,000 deaths each year.

The speakers highlighted breast cancer as the most common cancer in women around the world and termed it completely curable if detected at early stage. There is a need to educate females especially of the younger age group for early detection and thus avoid complication of late detection, they emphasised .

Due to lack of awareness of breast cancer in the country, this treatable disease is usually detected at advanced stage when nothing can turn the course of disease. While expressing her views on this occasion, Prof.

Dr. Mamuna Ghani, Dean Faculty of Arts said that we are organizing breast cancer awareness session for female students to raise awareness and hope students will join us to help educate women on how they can reduce their risk of developing breast cancer.
