Why breast cancer is being detected late in Indian women?
Breast cancer is being detected late in Indian women due to following reasons:
Lack of awareness about breast cancer in Indian women – this is, in fact, the most prominent factor for the late detection of breast cancer in India compared to elsewhere in the world (UK, USA, Canada and Australia).
Breast cancer is a silent killer – it grows and develops silently and progressively over several years.
In the initial stages, there are no signs and symptoms.
Signs and symptoms if present may manifest in the advanced stages (3rd and 4th stages)
The majority of Indian women remain unaware until cancer progresses to advanced stages.
The majority of Indian women are unaware of the risk factors and the precautions they must take to avert their risk.
The majority of women tend to neglect breast self-examination.
Only a few women go for clinical breast examination by a specialist doctor after they notice any abnormality in their breast through breast self-examination.
Only a few women have awareness about breast cancer screening
There are lots of myths associated with breast cancer
Experts recommend breast cancer screening should start from age 40 and for women who are at increased risk, screening should begin early – at age 35.
