Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and is the second leading cause of cancer related death. In India 70,000 new cases of breast cancer and 35,000 deaths due to this cancer are reported every year. The etiology of breast cancer is multifactorial. Hormonal, genetic and environmental factors appear to inter play in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. Hence, an attempt has been made in this review in order to discuss about the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic and treatment measures of breast cancer.
