After skin cancer, breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women. Cancer is a disease which causes cells in the body, in this case the breast, to grow out of control. These cells can spread, or metastasize, to other parts of the body. According to research conducted by the National Cancer Registry in 2019, approximately 1 in 27 South African women will develop breast cancer in their lifetimes.

In 2013, deaths from breast cancer accounted for just under 1 in 100 of all deaths in South Africa.
