The Port Ladies Association of the Ghana Ports and Harbors Authority in collaboration with the International Maritime Hospital has embarked on an intensive education on breast cancer for its members.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide and in low and middle-income countries like Ghana, the incidence has been rising steadily.

Research suggests that breast cancer is also the leading cause of cancer mortality in Ghanaian women.

She revealed that high exposure to oestrogen, the female sex hormone, aging, genetics, and ethnicity are among some of the uncontrollable natural risk factors of breast cancer, however, there’s the need to practice healthy lifestyles to reduce chances of breast cancer.

“We need to cut down on excessive alcohol intake as well as smoking, because that increases our risk of developing breast cancer,” she educated.

Members of the Port Ladies Association were taught the appropriate ways to do self-breast examination and also advised to regularly get screened.

The PLASS members also had the opportunity to interact with some breast cancer survivors and ambassadors of the Breasted One Foundation, who are playing a crucial role in the encouragement of women who have unfortunately been diagnosed with the illness.
