Breast Oncoplastic Surgery
Overview
Breast cancer has emerged as the most prevalent cancer among women in urban areas, with cases rising rapidly. Approximately 1 in 25-30 urban women are at risk of developing breast cancer during their lifetime, a figure significantly higher than that of rural India but lower than the rates in the US and UK. Alarmingly, the incidence of breast cancer is increasing in younger age groups, particularly among women aged 35-45.
While age and family history play a role in breast cancer risk, it’s crucial to note that only 5-10% of cases are attributed to familial factors. Detecting breast cancer early is paramount, as it significantly improves treatment options and outcomes. Though a diagnosis of breast cancer may seem daunting, advancements in early detection methods offer hope for effective treatment.
At Anvesh Cancer Care Hospital, we emphasize the importance of proactive breast health management. Every woman should be vigilant about any changes in their breast tissue, as early detection can save lives. Our dedicated team is committed to providing comprehensive care and support throughout every stage of the breast cancer journey.
