Speaking to the media, the CEO said, “the campaign to create awareness on the disease is part of the GFZA’s Corporate Social Responsibility and hopes the general public and employees will fully benefit from the sensitisation and the in-house breast cancer screening exercise.”

He further encouraged the general public to constantly check for changes in their bodies and develop healthy habits to help curb the spread of the disease.

Breast cancer treatment can be effective when the disease is identified early. It consists of surgical removal, radiation therapy, and medication (hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, or targeted biological treatment) are used in treating microscopic cancer to prevent it from spreading from the breast tumor through the blood.

Unlike some cancers with infection-related causes, such as human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical cancer, there are no known viral or bacterial infections linked to the development of breast cancer.
