Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and the leading cause of cancer deaths, said Nancy Shukri.
The Women, Family and Community Development Minister said breast cancer had the highest percentage at 34.1% compared to other types of cancers among women in Malaysia.
“As for cervical cancer, women aged 30 and above are the highest risk group. These two types of cancer are reproductive cancers that often haunt women in our country,” she said when launching the Women’s Reproductive Cancer Awareness Campaign here yesterday. “KPWKM through LPPKN also provides targeted subsidies for these two tests for those who qualify, especially the B40 group.
Earlier, Nancy visited the home of one of the respondents for the Family Well-being Index Study at Kampung Sileng Melayu.
