Study Finds Nearly 13% of Indian Women with Breast Cancer Experienced Metastasis

A study published in The Lancet Regional Health Southeast Asia journal analyzed data from over 76,000 Indian women diagnosed with primary breast cancer between 2009 and 2020. It found that nearly 13% experienced metastasis, with bone being the most common site. The risk of metastasis was higher in diagnoses from 2015-2020 compared to 2009-2014. Researchers noted that tumour burden and disease progression indicators strongly associate with metastatic breast cancer, while age showed no significant link.
