Breast Cancer Treatment Hospital in Delhi
Overview
Breast cancer has become the number one cancer among women in metropolitan cities. The cases are rapidly rising, with 1 in 25-30 urban women likely to suffer from breast cancer during their lifetime. This is much lower than the US (1 in 8 women) or UK (1 in 12 women). However, it is much higher than that in rural India (1 in 70 women). The other disturbing fact is that it is rising in the younger age group (between 35 - 45 years).
Every woman has some chance of developing breast cancer during her lifetime. The risk increases with age with approximately 77% of women being over the age of 50 at the time of diagnosis. It doubles if there are first or second-degree relatives with breast cancer. However, family history contributes to only 5-10% of breast cancers.
Breast Cancer does not spell doom anymore, especially now, with modalities to detect the disease early; however, one should never disregard any lump in the breast that they come across. The earlier the disease is picked up, the better the breast cancer treatment options and the outcome.
Other Risk Factors of Breast Cancer are:
- Early onset of periods
- Late menopause
- Null parity or late childbirth
- Lack of breastfeeding
- Obesity
- Hormone replacement therapy
- Previous history of radiation
- Previous history of breast surgery
