their transformation to cancer cells. These agents are termed as “carcinogenic”. Another theory of how cancer develops states that the body itself produces abnormal cells. Normally‚ these abnormal cells are destroyed by immune system. In cases of immunologic deficiency‚ the immune system fails to destroy the abnormal cells which eventually become the cancer cells (Udan‚ 2002). According to Reyes & Layug (2009)‚ breast cancer is an unregulated growth of abnormal cells in breast tissue. Its cause is
