Breast cancer is a malignancy that develops in the cells of the breast, most often in the ducts or lobules, and it is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide, though it can also affect men. It comprises several biological subtypes, including hormone-receptor-positive and triple-negative disease, which differ in behaviour, prognosis, and response to treatment. Early detection through screening and awareness of risk factors and symptoms improves outcomes, and management may combine surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and targeted treatments according to stage and tumour type. Research spans the molecular biology of tumour growth and metastasis, prognostic and predictive markers, novel and adjunctive therapies, and the psychological and supportive-care needs of patients. The disease can spread to other organs, and its diagnosis carries a substantial emotional burden, making mental-health and psycho-oncological care an active area of study. The journal publishes peer-reviewed work relevant to these themes, including studies on chemokines and metastasis through the CXCR4 receptor, survival among breast cancer patients, risk factors, the anticancer effects of agents such as alendronate and damsin derivatives, prognostic variables in triple-negative disease, psycho-oncological care among immigrant women, cognitive-analytic therapy in patients with co-occurring PTSD, and the uptake of breast screening.
