Breast cancer is a type of cancer that originates in the tissues of the breast. These malignant cells usually form in the lobules or the ducts. Breast cancer can affect both men and women.
Breast cancer has become the number one cancer among women in metropolitan cities in India. The cases are rapidly rising, with 1 in 25-30 urban women likely to suffer from breast cancer during their lifetime. This is much lower than the US (1 in 8 women) or UK (1 in 12 women). However, it is much higher than that in rural India (1 in 70 women). The other disturbing fact is that it is rising in the younger age group (between 35 - 45 years).
Every woman has some chance of developing breast cancer during her lifetime. The risk of breast cancer increases with age with approximately 77% of women being over the age of 50 at the time of diagnosis. It doubles if there are first or second-degree relatives with breast cancer. However, family history contributes to only 5-10% of breast cancers.
Breast Cancer does not spell doom anymore, especially now, with modalities to detect the disease early; however, one should never disregard any lump in the breast that they come across. The earlier the disease is picked up, the better the breast lump treatment options are and the outcome.
The outcomes of breast cancer treatment improve significantly when the cancer is detected in its early stages. Please make sure to consult a doctor if you notice any physical or visual changes in the breast or underarm area.
After understanding the causes and symptoms of breast cancer, a multi-pronged approach is mandatory for an accurate breast cancer diagnosis:
