Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women in India. According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), breast cancer is the most common cancer among Indian women, accounting for 27% of all cancers in women1. Every year, around 1.5 lakh new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in India2, and the number is expected to increase in the coming years due to various factors such as a more inclination toward a sedentary lifestyle, eating habits, urbanization, and an aging population. It is estimated that 1 in 28 women in India is likely to develop breast cancer during her lifetime3. Early detection is crucial in the treatment of breast cancer. However, in India, many cases of breast cancer are detected at an advanced stage, which makes treatment more difficult and reduces the chances of survival. Therefore, it is necessary for women to be aware of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and to undergo regular screening tests such as mammography to detect the disease at an early stage.
