Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzed data from 7,478 Malaysian women diagnosed with breast cancer over a 15-year period to track trends in age, tumor characteristics, and treatment approaches.
- - Findings indicated an increase in the number of older patients and a slight rise in early-stage diagnoses, but more importantly, there was a notable improvement in tumor size, differentiation, and treatment effectiveness, especially for HER2-overexpressed tumors.
- - Despite these advancements in survival rates, the study highlights the need for earlier detection methods and better access to effective treatments for breast cancer patients in Malaysia.
