Pink ribbon campaign


If you’re Malaysian and you didn’t already know,
breast cancer is the most common form of cancer afflicting Malaysian women of all races.
Breast Cancer doesn’t discriminate - whether you’re Malay, Indian, Chinese or everything in-between, or in other words - MALAYSIAN - this concerns you.

So… what can you do?

1. Get Yourself Checked. Don’t delay.

2. Take Preventive Measures. Start NOW.


The exact cause of breast cancer is not known..
factors that can increase a woman’s risk include heredity, early puberty, late childbearing, obesity, and lifestyle factors such as heavy alcohol consumption and smoking.
The biggest risk factor for breast cancer is age — just growing older.
Most breast cancers occur in women over the age of 50, and women over 60 are at the highest risk.
The risk for developing breast cancer increases if her mother, sister, daughter, or two or more other close relatives, such as cousins, have a history of breast cancer, especially at a young age. However, 85% of women who develop breast cancer have NO known family history of the disease.
