Breast Cancer Detection

Breast cancer remains one of India’s most critical health challenges, with nearly 2 lakh new cases diagnosed every year, accounting for 30% of all cancer cases in the country. Alarmingly, its incidence has risen by 46% over the past two decades. Despite this growing burden, India continues to rely heavily on Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) for screening, as access to imaging technologies and trained radiologists, particularly in Tier-2/3 cities and rural regions, remains limited. This dependence often leads to delayed detection and poorer outcomes for patients.
