Self-examination, key preventive screening to detect breast cancer in early stages
common among women
Cancer incidence continues to rise in the country, with breast cancer becoming more common among women. Alarmingly, a large part of this group of patients is between 25 and 40 years of age.
self-examination
Leading physicians advocate the importance of self-examination and preventive screenings to promptly detect any lumps or irregularities in the breast area at an early stage.
lack of awareness
In India, there is a great lack of awareness of the importance of breast self-examination, regular check-ups, etc., which is often the cause of delayed diagnosis and detection of breast cancer in women, Dr. Garvit Chitkara, Senior Consultant, Breast Surgical Oncology and Oncoplasty, Nanavati Max Institute of Cancer Care, Mumbai, said.
Advanced diagnostic techniques
Advanced diagnostic techniques, such as vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) technology, aid in high-precision diagnosis as it can accurately sample the smallest lesions in the breast that they are often missed or not sampled by core needle biopsy, says Dr. Sudhakar, Consultant Radiologist, HCG Cancer Hospital, Bangalore.
benign lumps
Women often develop lumps or lesions in the breast that can be a cause for great concern, although not all lumps are cancerous. Another common problem in younger women is the prevalence of benign lumps called fibroadenomas, which can feel firm, soft, rubbery, or hard and have a well-defined shape. VABB supports the removal of non-cancerous lumps and fibroadenomas in a minimally invasive, cosmetic and day care procedure.
