According to Mariz Umali’s “24 Oras” report on Wednesday, one breast cancer patient dies every hour in the Philippines, while 9,926 breast cancer deaths were recorded in 2020.
Health experts reminded patients to attend regular checkups as breast cancer is not diagnosed immediately. “If may makapa na sila na bukol then they need to seek medical consultation for further work up or posible pwede na silang mabiopsy,” Dr. Mela Garces Chua, JRRMMC chief fellow medical oncology department, said.
