%X Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-related death. More than 1-2 million cases are diagnosed every year, affecting 10-12% of the female population and accounting for 500,000 deaths per year (1). In the last two decades, mortality rates have generally remained stable or slightly decreased. Declines in BC mortality have been attributed to both novel treatment strategies and early detection due to the implementation of screening/prevention programs (2)
