The breast cancer in young women, examining the unique challenges in early diagnosis, the socio-psychological impact, and the specific support needs of younger patients. Breast cancer awareness campaigns predominantly target older populations, often leaving young women less informed about risks and symptoms. Yet, early-onset breast cancer can have significant implications, including fertility concerns, career interruptions, and emotional strain. This study reviews the epidemiology, diagnostic challenges, treatment impacts, and the importance of tailored support systems for young women with breast cancer. It concludes with recommendations for policy changes, targeted awareness initiatives, and areas for further research to support young breast cancer patients better.
