Abstract: Breast cancer continues to be the most common malignancy and a primary cause of cancer-related death worldwide among women, with an increasing burden in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). Despite the recent progress in diagnosis and treatment, inequalities in healthcare infrastructure and access persist, aggravating breast cancer survival rates in LMICs. In this paper, we explore the factors accounting for the high prevalence of breast cancer in LMICs. We implore governments and key health players in LMICs to collaborate and support the provision of comprehensive technological innovations such as AI-based diagnostics and mobile screening units, to facilitate early detection, and raise public awareness campaigns to promote healthy lifestyles.
