In my opinion, the most successful way for raising breast cancer awareness would be to target the students. If the youth are familiarized with awareness campaigns at an early stage, they will take precaution to avoid it. At their ripe age, bubbling with enthusiasm, they will spread the message among their friends, family, and neighbors. However, the youth need to be well-acquainted with the symptoms, prevention, and cures themselves through engaging them in seminars and presentations within school timings. It can also be introduced in Sex-education classes. The earlier cancer is diagnosed, the greater the chances of survival.
