Breast cancer in India today
Journal Title: Panacea Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in Indian women (25.8 per 100,000 and 25-32% of all female cancers) with a high mortality rate (12.7 per 100,000), due to late presentation (45.7% in advanced stage). In urban area, changing lifestyle and food habits may have contributed to this. In the rural areas breast cancer is diagnosed at an advanced stage due to lack of awareness, lack of population screening programs and facilities for early diagnosis and treatment. In some rural areas of India, cervical cancer is the commonest followed by breast cancer
