Here’s a concerning fact — only 1% of women under 45 plus are going for mammography screening. Shocking, right?
Breast cancer is now the number 1 cancer among women in India, making up 28.2% of all cancers. Globally, 1 in 10 women face it. And in India, 16% of cases are under 50.
The best defense is Early detection. Self-examination of breasts and mammography can catch cancer years before you feel it. And that’s when treatment works best.
Breast cancer can sometimes go undetected in mammograms, especially in women with dense breast tissue or certain cancer types. In such cases, doctors can recommended additional screenings for accurate diagnosis.
So why are women skipping it? Lack of awareness? Fear? But breast cancer doesn’t wait — and it can strike at any age.
Every woman is at risk. Prioritize your mammogram and self-checks. Because early detection isn’t just a chance — it’s a lifesaving choice.
