Abstract

Breast cancer, a universal health trepidation, is the principal cause of death for women in Namibia. Observing patients with low calculated risk factors being diagnosed with breast cancer compel us to probe into the possible lifetime adopted risk factors compatibility and supervision of breast cancer in Namibia. Knowing and understanding risk factors for breast cancer may pave the way for better risks assessment and provide timely, accurate diagnostics, management and treatment strategies. Therefore, it is vital to determine and establish specific risk factors guidelines based on rigorous medical and demographic mapping for appropriate breast cancer screening methods, approve accurate patient diagnosis, and enhance the management of breast cancer in Namibia.
