Hlo ,friends do you know breast cancer occurrence in younger women is rising???
we can see that, breast cancer has already overtaken cervical cancer as the leading cause of cancer related deaths for women in india.
The second most common cancer among women with an estimated 1.67 million new cancer cases diagnosed in 2012 (25% of all cancer).According to estimates of World Health Organization (WHO),roughly 1,44,937 women in india were detected with breast cancer in 2012 & 70,218 of them died.
Unfortunately, more than 60% of women are diagnosed with breast cancer at stage 3 or 4 in india,drastically affacting survival rate and restricting treatment option.
It is pertinent to note that half of mortality due to breast cancer in india can be reduced by ensuring screening and timely detection. Cancer is curable if detected early,so early screening is important. So womens should give emphasis on the need for greater awareness, self examination and screening.
The reason behind breast cancer include delay in pregnancy, reducing breast feeding,lack of physical activity, obesity as well as increasing prevalence of smoking & drinking among women...so women should take care of it and must avoid such activities and do self examinations and should consult a docter to stay away from such diseases. So its my request to all womens not feel shame and consult docters and fight with breast cancer and reduce mortality rate ..
