Abstract Breast cancer remains a complex and prevalent health concern affecting millions of individuals worldwide. This review paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted landscape of breast cancer, elucidating the diverse spectrum of risk factors contributing to its occurrence and exploring advancements in diagnostic methodologies. Through an extensive examination of current literature, various risk factors have been identified, encompassing genetic predispositions such as BRCA mutations, hormonal influences, lifestyle factors, and reproductive patterns. Age, family history, and environmental factors further contribute to the intricate tapestry of breast cancer etiology. Moreover, this review delineates the pivotal role of diagnostic tools in the early detection and management of breast cancer. Mammography, the cornerstone of breast cancer screening, is augmented by emerging technologies like magnetic resonance imaging and molecular testing, enabling improved sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing breast malignancies. Despite these advancements, challenges persist in ensuring widespread accessibility to screening programs, particularly in resource-limited settings. In conclusion, this review underscores the importance of understanding diverse risk factors in the development of breast cancer and emphasizes the critical role of evolving diagnostic modalities in enhancing early detection. The synthesis of current knowledge in this review aims to contribute to a deeper comprehension of breast cancer's multifactorial nature and inform future directions in research, screening strategies, and preventive interventions.
