Women should regularly perform a breast self-examination every month to look for abnormalities, the Department of Medical Services (DMS) said as it raises breast cancer awareness.
Somsak Akksilp, director-general of the DMS, on Sunday said breast cancer is a common type of cancer found in Thai women.
Citing Public Health Ministry data, he said that last year, about 18,000 Thai women had breast cancer and about 4,800 died from the disease.
