Breast cancer is one of the most common invasive cancer in women. Also, it is known as the second leading cause of cancer death in women.
In today’s world, cancer has been a very commen disease, breast cancer in women is really usual these days, but women often tend to ignore the symptoms because of the lack of awareness among them. It was surveyed that in Delhi, almost 57% of the women were cited a lump in their breasts as a symptom of breast cancer, but less than 1 of 10 women were aware that a lump in breast could be a symptom of breast cancer. Awareness among women about the prevailing virus is very low. Women needs to get more aware in order to fix the problem before they grow too big.
Recent studies show that over 3.1 million women today have survived breast cancer in US because they were able to get it treated in time. But women in india are not much aware about the disease that could even take their lives. Women needs to take out time fir themselves and get themselves diagnosed for the same. Women should also take preventive measures in order to prevent this dangerous disease. Limiting alcohol, maintaing weight can help preventing the disease
