Dr Pamela Borges speaks to ecancer about key insights on breast cancer in Cape Verde.

She says that majority of breast cancer patients are female, diagnosed at an average age of 52.

In the population, invasive ductal carcinoma is prevalent, with many diagnosed late.

She highlights that educational levels impact diagnosis timing, and genetic testing reveals 26% have hereditary mutations, primarily BRCA2.

The survival rates two years post-diagnosis stand at 85%.
