Dr. Maslamani-The Director of Dunya’s Center talked about Breast Cancer, its symptoms, and the ways to detect it early. She focused on the importance of the manual self examination, in which women can detect any change in their breast and that is the first step in fighting the disease.

Dr. Maslamani has indicated that 9 out of 10 is the percentage of cure from Breast Cancer in case of early detection. She has encouraged women to be strong and get diagnosed since 80 % of the lumps are considered benign.
