Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women in India today. However, when detected early, breast cancer is highly treatable and survival rates are excellent. As a breast cancer surgeon, I strongly believe that awareness and timely action can save lives.
Why Early Detection Matters
- Early-stage breast cancer often requires less aggressive treatment
- Higher chances of breast conservation surgery
- Better physical, emotional, and psychological recovery
- Improved long-term survival
Signs You Should Never Ignore
- A lump in the breast or underarm
- Change in breast size or shape
- Skin dimpling or redness
- Nipple discharge or inversion
- Persistent breast pain
Not every lump is cancer, but every lump must be evaluated.
How You Can Detect Breast Cancer Early
- Breast Self-Examination (BSE) – once every month
- Clinical Breast Examination by a specialist
- Mammography (especially after 40 years or earlier if high risk)
A Doctor’s Message
Early detection is not about fear — it is about empowerment. When we act early, we act strong.
