The global incidence of breast cancer is rising year by year. However, with the implementation of standardized and normalized treatments, mortality rates have significantly decreased. For any disease, prevention is always the first priority. To prevent breast cancer, one should maintain a healthy mindset, regular routines, and stay away from smoking and alcohol. Those with a family history of the disease should undergo regular screenings. Breast cancer treatment has now entered an era of individualized comprehensive therapy, where precise interventions using multiple methods have greatly improved patients’ survival and quality of life. By following medical advice and facing the disease positively, patients can not only extend their lives but also enrich them, regaining a fulfilling life.

Breast cancer, once a feared disease, is no longer an incurable illness. The key lies in actively preventing it with a scientific attitude, detecting it early, and treating it in a timely manner. Dear women, loving yourself begins with paying attention to your breast health. Remember, the road to true recovery requires joint efforts from both doctors and patients. Please follow medical advice, have regular follow-ups, and face every challenge in the treatment process positively. Believe in yourself—we can certainly overcome the disease and regain health and beauty.

Breast cancer is often caused by unhealthy lifestyles. Improving lifestyle and avoiding bad habits are crucial for preventing breast cancer, such as controlling weight, having a balanced diet, exercising regularly, quitting smoking and alcohol, and breastfeeding at the right time to keep your breasts healthier. Additionally, perform self-examinations 7 to 10 days after menstruation ends, seek medical attention promptly if any abnormalities are detected, and continuously monitor if you have a genetic risk. By doing so, you can stay away from breast cancer and enjoy a healthy and fulfilling life.

With the arrival of the National Healthy Lifestyle Promotion Month, I hope all women can maintain healthy breasts. A healthy lifestyle helps keep breasts healthy: First, follow the dietary guidelines of the Chinese Nutrition Society for a balanced diet; second, stick to daily physical activities to maintain physical fitness; third, ensure adequate sleep to maintain a good mental state; and lastly, keep emotions stable. All these measures can help reduce the risk of breast cancer.

The accelerated pace of life brings inevitable physical and mental stress. Participating in physical activities reasonably and seeking help from professional doctors to relieve mental stress can help maintain a healthy and positive mindset. Paying attention to women’s health, and focusing on mental and lifestyle states, is of great significance in preventing chronic diseases such as tumors.

The country places great emphasis on the health of its citizens and has set the ambitious goal of “Healthy China 2030,” aiming for a 5-year overall survival rate of 46.6% for cancer patients by 2030. Achieving this goal requires not only standardized diagnosis and treatment by breast cancer professionals and multidisciplinary comprehensive care but also the joint attention of all sectors of society. Let us work together to improve the prevention and treatment level of breast cancer.

Breast cancer is one of the solid tumors with the best prognosis. We hope everyone can focus on prevention. Even if unfortunately diagnosed with breast cancer, patients can still live longer and better lives through standardized anti-cancer treatment. In summary, a healthy lifestyle is an important health factor for both healthy women and breast cancer patients.
