Bahrain reports 200 breast cancer cases   

Khaleej Times - 06 July, 2012

Two hundred new breast cancer cases were reported in Bahrain last year out of a total 550 cancer cases.

According to the Ministry of Health’s statistics, a 28-year-old Bahraini female was the youngest woman to be diagnosed with breast cancer. The statistics also revealed that lung cancer was the most common ailment followed by breast and colon cancer. A recent study revealed that the lifespan of a Bahraini female reduces by 20 years after getting breast cancer.

To reduce breast cancer cases or ensure treatment of the aliment in its early stages, the Think Pink Bahrain has been campaigning to promote annual screening among women who are 40-year-old or older.
