Self-breast examinations monthly would go a long way in early detection. The aim should be to detect it at a very early stage because there is no pain in breast cancer in the initial stages.
"It is merely a technique for women to be aware and mindful of the normal status of their breasts so that any deviation from the normal may be picked up at the earliest and shown to the appropriate doctor," Dr. Manjula Rao, Consultant, Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon, Apollo Proton Cancer Centre, Chennai, told IANS.
"It helps to detect cancerous lumps at a much smaller size, hence allowing earlier detection, less severe treatments, and less aggressive surgery like breast conservation, oncoplasty, and sentinel lymph node biopsy,” the doctor said.
She advised that it is best done once a month, typically 5-7 days after periods when the breast is at its most supple. Daga said there is almost 90 to 95 percent cure in the early stages of cancer. So, if it is detected early, it helps in the prevention of cancer.
Unlike earlier, the cure rate has also gone up with early detection.
