N2  - Background: Breast cancer has become the focus of both healthcare staff and society equally. With the rapid growth of breast cancer incidence around the globe, further considerations including awareness campaigns and annual screening programs were introduced. Surgeons must be aware and knowledgeable when they encounter patients, as early detection is directly related to better outcomes. Objectives: We aimed to review the literature reviewing breast cancer, pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, and prognosis of this disease. Methodology: PubMed database was used for article selection, and the gathered papers had undergone a thorough review. Conclusion: Breast cancer risk profile is crucial for the target population of breast cancer, as it predicts the pattern of developing the disease in the family. Triple assessment, including clinical examination, radiological findings, and histopathological results, is the protocol for making a diagnosis of breast cancer. Treatment of breast cancer depends on the stage and the options include breast-conserving therapy or mastectomy along with radiation, chemotherapy, and hormonal treatment.
