Cancer also affects young people

One in 8 women is at risk for breast cancer. In recent years it has been observed that this disease has an increasing trend all over the world. There have been 708 new cases registered in Albania alone since January, with doctors saying younger ages are also affected.

Anila Kristo: We have young people from the age of 20 to the broken ages. This can also be attributed to genetic parts in the family. In 20-30 year old women, 1 in 300 women may be affected by breast.

Anila Kristo: They have their influence and pollution or other factors related to lifestyle.

An oncologist, Anila Kristo, points out that the only way to prevent it is through periodic checkups.

Anila Kristo: A first ultrasound can be done at the age of 25. If it’s a perfectly calm bay, the controls can be made even farther.

Men are no less at risk. Doctors say the disease can also occur in this genus, although the incidence is much lower.

Anila Kristo: For 100 women there is a sick man.

The battle can be won if the disease is diagnosed at an early stage.

According to Ministry of Health data, there is an increasing number of affected women and girls, but the mortality rate has decreased.
