Breast Cancer Treatment

In North India

Breast cancer occurs when cells in your breast grow abnormally and form a tumor. It can begin in different parts of the breast, most often in the ducts. With time, the cells might spread to nearby tissues or other areas if not treated well. The condition varies from person to person, with some types progressing slowly and others quickly. In the early stages, symptoms might not be clear, making regular screening and awareness very important. Early diagnosis helps start treatment on time and improve your overall health outcomes.

Symptoms
Symptoms can include noticeable lump changes in breast size or shape, or unusual skin changes. Some people also have nipple discharge or pain. In early cases, there might be no clear symptoms at all.

Causes
Breast cancer develops due to mutations in the DNA of breast cells, causing uncontrolled growth. The exact reason is often unknown. But factors like family history or hormonal imbalance might increase the risk.

Diagnosis
Diagnosis includes a physical examination, followed by imaging tests such as a mammogram or an MRI. A biopsy is also done to confirm the presence of cancer. The tests help doctors identify the type and stage for proper treatment.

Treatment
Treatment involves surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. The main aim is to eliminate cancer and prevent its spread. The treatment plan depends on the type and stage of cancer.
