Breast Cancer Cases Soar in India: Younger Women at Risk, Early Detection Crucial
•Breast cancer cases in India have more than doubled in the last three decades, with a rising number of younger women diagnosed.
•Lifestyle changes, delayed childbirth, lower breastfeeding rates, and limited screening contribute to the surge.
•Many women are diagnosed at later stages due to lack of awareness, limited screening access, and poor healthcare infrastructure, reducing survival rates.
•Global breast cancer cases are projected to rise significantly by 2050, necessitating robust screening and awareness.
•Prevention includes increased awareness, regular mammogram screening for women over 40, self-examination, healthy lifestyle, and programs like Ayushman Bharat for check-ups.
