The most common cancer in women — and one of the most treatable when found early. Modern therapy is tailored to each patient and each tumour.

Breast cancer begins when cells in the breast grow abnormally, most often in the milk ducts or lobules. Most patients first notice a painless lump, though changes in the nipple or the skin of the breast can also be early signs. It occurs mainly in women, but men can develop it too.
Outcomes have improved dramatically. With early detection and modern treatment — planned around the specific type and stage of the tumour — most women diagnosed early are cured and return to full, normal lives.
Evaluation starts with clinical examination, followed by mammography or ultrasound of the breast. A needle biopsy confirms the diagnosis and tells us the tumour type, grade, and hormone-receptor and HER2 status — information that decides which treatment will work best. Further scans assess the stage.
Treatment is individualized. Depending on the stage and tumour biology it may include surgery, chemotherapy, hormone (endocrine) therapy, targeted therapy such as anti-HER2 drugs, and radiation. Most patients receive chemotherapy or targeted therapy on a day-care basis, without hospital admission. Our focus is not only cure but preserving quality of life throughout treatment.
This information is for general education and is not a substitute for a consultation. Every patient is unique — the right treatment can only be decided after proper evaluation.
Dr. Anil explains how modern treatment has made cancer curable.
