Breast cancer

The breast cancer is the most common form of the disease afflicting women in India, and is likely to kill a staggering 76,000 women a year by 2020. Doctors say a lack of awareness about self-examination means that early detection and treatment are rare, and that’s contributing to a higher death toll.

Recently a survey reveals that many Indians aren’t sure what causes breast cancer. they believe it happens due to hormonal problems. Actually, it’s a combination of lifestyle-related factors, such as having children later in life and breastfeeding less, that are believed to increase the risk.
