When singer-songwriter Jessie J recently revealed her early-stage breast cancer diagnosis, the news sent ripples of shock and support across the globe. At just 37, the pop star’s vulnerability and strength in going public with her diagnosis have struck a chord with many—especially women who may not yet prioritise their breast health.
At Solis Breast Care & Surgery Centre (Solis) & Luma Women’s Imaging Centre (Luma), we stand with Jessie J and every woman navigating breast cancer. Her story is a powerful reminder that breast cancer doesn’t wait for the “right age”—and paying attention to changes in your body, no matter how small, is essential.
Breast Cancer in Singapore: A Growing Concern
In Singapore, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, accounting for approximately 29.7% of all female cancer cases. About 1 in 13 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime [1]. While breast cancer is more common in women aged 50 and above, it can and does affect younger women—often when they least expect it. These facts make it clear: awareness and timely diagnosis are key.
What Is Early Breast Cancer?
Early breast cancer refers to cancer that is confined to the breast and possibly nearby lymph nodes, but has not spread to distant organs. It includes Stage 0 (Ductal Carcinoma In Situ or DCIS) and Stages I and II of breast cancer [2].
Often, early breast cancer does not cause pain or obvious symptoms, which is why many women are caught off guard. The good news? When detected early, breast cancer is highly treatable, with 5-year survival rates exceeding 90% [3].
Treatment may include surgery, radiation, and sometimes hormonal therapy or chemotherapy—depending on the cancer’s type and biology. But early diagnosis opens the door to more treatment options and better outcomes.
