Breast cancer is fast becoming the most common cancer in most cities of India and second most common in rural areas. According to statistics, for the year 2015, there will be an estimated 155,000 new cases of breast cancer and about 76,000 women in India are expected to die of the disease.
Dr Geeta Kadayaprath, MS FRCS, head, Breast services (Surgical oncology), ex-fellow, Breast Unit, Royal Marsden Hospital, London, UK, Max Cancer Centre, Max Healthcare, New Delhi shares, “Breast cancer accounts for 25% to 32% of all female cancers in all the cities. This implies, practically, one fourth (or even approaching one thirds) of all female cancer cases are breast cancers. However, the most worrisome trend is the rising incidence of breast cancer in women aged between 30 - 40 years.”
