There are different types of cancers; however, this paper focuses on breast cancer only. Breast cancer begins in the cells of the breasts. Due to the increasing rate of its malignancies, it has become the fifth most common reason for death in females all over the world. (Shaukat et al, 2013). At the beginning of this twenty first century, more than one million women were diagnosed with breast cancer out of which 373,000 died in the year 2000 and 519,000 women died in the year 2004 globally (Farlay et al, 2010). In the year 2000, there were an estimated 189,000 deaths in the developed countries and 184,000 in developing countries. (Naraynsingh et al, 2010). Therefore, this statistical data depict that the breast cancer in developing countries is greater than in the developing countries. Nevertheless, in Asian countries, including Pakistan, the increasing rate of breast cancer gives an alarming signal. On this account, the incidence of breast cancer in Pakistan is 2.5 times more than in other countries of Asia such as Iran and India (Shaukat, 2013). Pakistani women 50 out of 100,000 as compared to Indian women 19 out of 100,000 were reported to be victims of breast cancer (Rasheed, 2013). It is the second common cause of death in Pakistani women mainly due to genetic mutation and increasing age (American cancer society, 2013). Rasheed (2013) elaborates that among every nine women, one woman is expected to be the sufferer of breast cancer and this ratio increases after the menopausal age of 45 years. For that reason, the purpose of this paper is to highlight the issue that breast cancer awareness, especially in the rural regions of Pakistan, is very low. Furthermore, it is yet unknown to determine the exact cause and treatment to resolve this problem completely. This paper explores the impact of breast cancer on Pakistani females. The paper shares the significance and background of breast cancer on the basis of its prevalence
