Breast Cancer Awareness: Screening, Self-Checks, and Risks for Women and Men
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Indian women, with over 200,000 new cases annually, and awareness of self-examination and screening is crucial. Mammography myths, such as the need only for those with family history or radiation risks, are often misunderstood. While rare, men can also develop breast cancer, typically diagnosed later due to low awareness. Experts emphasize recognizing early signs in both genders and encourage regular screening and prompt medical evaluation for any breast changes.
