Cancer is a disease that propagates due to the uncontrollable growth of abnormal cells. Abnormal cells perform unusual functions rather than a predefined function within the human body. The growth of normal cells is controllable, while the growth pattern of abnormal cells is recalcitrant. Within a momentary period, the numbers of abnormal cells in the body increase, which in turn creates further complications for proper bodily functions. Cancerous cells can target any organ in a functional body; organs such as skin, lung, and breast are commonly affected. Breasts contain mammary glands and are recognized not only as an important organ but also as a paired structure, which is located on the pectoral region of the chest wall of the human body.

Breast cancer is a condition in which cells in
