Breast cancer is considered the most common cancer in women. In 2022, there were an estimated 2.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer and 670,000 deaths globally, according to the World Health Organization. 

How can women prevent breast cancer in daily life? Maintaining weight, keeping alcohol away, having a healthy diet and exercise are options that help women stay away from breast cancer, Linda Bosserman, a medical oncologist from the City of Hope, a well-known cancer center in the U.S, told CGTN's Health Talk. 

A regular screening or mammography is also necessary.

"If we're going to have a problem, we want to find it when its earliest and smallest and most curable," said Bosserman.
