Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is now the most common cancer among Indian women, accounting for a major share of all female cancers in the country. The number of cases in India is projected to rise from about 1.5 lakh to over 2.3 lakh per year within a decade, reflecting a sharp increase in the overall disease burden. A large proportion of these cases occur in women in the working-age group (around 30–59 years), leading to a significant loss of healthy life years and a substantial socio‑economic impact on families and society. Importantly, when breast cancer is detected at an early stage, treatment is more effective and survival rates are significantly higher, underscoring the life‑saving value of timely recognition and screening.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Breast lump or thickening
Change in breast shape
Skin dimpling or redness
Nipple discharge or inversion
Persistent breast pain
Lump in the Axilla (Armpit)

Why Awareness and Early Evaluation Matter

When detected at an early stage, breast cancer has a survival rate of over 90–99%, making early evaluation the single most powerful factor in successful treatment. Timely diagnosis through screening and expert assessment allows for less aggressive procedures, better cosmetic outcomes, and faster recovery. We strongly emphasize early detection because it dramatically improves success rates and long-term survival. If you notice any breast changes, do not delay early consultation can make all the difference in achieving the best possible outcome.

Recommended Screening Methods:

Breast Self-Examination (BSE) – Monthly self-check to identify any new lumps or changes
Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) – Physical examination by a qualified doctor
Mammography – Standard screening test for early detection, especially after 40 years
