In developing countries like India, the death rate due to breast cancer ranges from 1-3 percent. Rarely seen under 20 years of age. About 0.5 percent of men develop breast cancer. About five percent of all breast cancers are hereditary. The World Health Organization has declared the month of October as Breast Cancer Month to raise awareness about breast cancer.It aims at early detection and treatment, psychological and physical support of cancer patients, their rehabilitation, palliative treatment and cancer prevention activities.Studies have shown that modern living facilities, excessive food, stressful living conditions and mental stress cause various types of cancer.

The hormone Estradiol is produced from excess body fat. It can cause breast cancer. But proper exercise prevents excess fat.At the same time it provides relaxation and happiness to the mind. Stress in society is more common in women.Air pollution, chemicals in junk food, chemicals that add color and flavor to food, presence of pesticides in food, alcohol consumption, use of tobacco products, Panmasala etc. are increasing the number of various types of cancer.

Cancer is not caused by a specific cause. Rather, it is due to many life circumstances and many constant causes.Anyone can develop cancer at any time due to life circumstances or genetics. Therefore, there is a need to create awareness among the people to prevent cancer through lifestyle and to detect it early and treat it completely.

Breast cancer is 100 percent curable if detected early through self-examination.Not all types of cancer can be diagnosed at an early stage. But some symptoms need to be checked. Cancer can come without any symptoms and go to an advanced stage
Likely. So it is important to make sure that some of the following symptoms are not caused by cancer. Also, it's an opportunity to find out early on.Self-examination can help detect breast cancer at an early stage. This should be practiced by all women.

When is self-examination?

Women who have regular periods should self-examine immediately after their period, and those who do not, should do self-examination at regular intervals of about one month.

How to check?
Check your breasts in front of a mirror to make sure that changes in size, nipples, visible lumps, armpit lumps, and breast discoloration are not cancer.

Both breasts should be examined using the armpits and the palm of the hand. Tumors can thus be detected in very small directions. If there is discharge, it can also be detected by pressing the nipples.What makes breast cancer different from other cancers is that it can be detected at an early stage through self-examination. If detected in the early stages, 100 percent can be treated and cured. Cancers diagnosed in stage one and two do not cause death. But breast cancer diagnosed at stage 4 and 5 can be fatal five to 10 years later.These patients may require chemotherapy, radiation therapy, follow-up treatment, and other treatments at regular intervals along with surgery.

Benefits of early recognition

Surgery to remove the entire mole is not required. Thus, disability can be prevented.
Radiation treatment and chemotherapy can be avoided and sometimes reduced to just one.Chemo and radiation doses can be reduced.
Not all of the above-mentioned changes in the breasts and armpits are cancer. About 80 percent of breast tumors are non-cancerous. Therefore, it is necessary to see the surgeon to make sure that it is not cancer.

Painless lumps and bumps are the most common symptom of cancer.There is a lot of tendency not to undergo treatment due to lack of pain and discomfort. Thus, as the stage of cancer progresses, the treatment becomes more complicated. A change can be made through awareness campaigns.

Diagnosis is not complicated

Clinical examination or examination by a doctor.Radiological examination or mammogram, ultrasound study, MRI Study or CT Breast. The doctor decides which of these is required considering the patient's age and other factors.
Tissue diagnosis of the tumor. It includes fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) core biopsy, incision biopsy and excision biopsy.treatment

Operate on the cancerous part according to the stage
Radiation after operation
Then give chemotherapy as needed.
Breast cancer treatment is a teamwork. A cancer patient should be treated through teamwork involving general surgeon, oncologist, pathologist, radiologist and psychiatrist.Psychiatrist services should be ensured for those who experience depression and mental disturbances lasting more than three weeks.
