The Ministry of Health (MOH) reports that 15 women in Sri Lanka are diagnosed with breast cancer every day, while three die from the disease.
Health officials stress that early detection can lead to a complete cure.
Breast cancer remains the most common cancer among Sri Lankan women, and October is observed as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Women over 20 are advised to perform monthly self-examinations, those aged 20–40 to undergo a clinical exam every three years, and women over 40 to have annual checkups.
The Ministry urges anyone noticing lumps, pain, or skin changes to seek medical advice at Suwanari, Suwadivi, or early cancer detection clinics
