Breast cancer has emerged as the leading human cancer and the most prevalent cancer among women worldwide and in India. In 2022, 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer and 670,000 died from the disease globally. This means that breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women worldwide, accounting for 1 in 4 cancer cases. It’s also the second most common cancer across all genders, and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. The book aims to give precise information by medical experts and serve as a tool to help in prevention, early detection and optimal care for breast cancer, which remain crucial to an improved survival rate as well as quality of life.
“To address the concerning rise in breast cancer, Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital also offers the “One Stop Breast Clinic,” aimed at helping any woman with a possible or proven disease of the breast get a comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis and treatment pathway within two hours.
Through collaborative efforts between healthcare professionals, organisations, and individuals, the launch of “Being Breast Aware: What Every Woman Must Know” marks a significant milestone in the ongoing battle against breast cancer. By raising awareness and fostering dialogue, this initiative aims to reduce the burden of breast cancer and improve outcomes for women across India.
The event was held on April 6th, 2024, at 6:30 PM, amidst the prestigious ambiance of The Regal Room at Trident Hotel, Nariman Point, Mumbai,
In conclusion, the launch event of “Being Breast Aware: What Every Woman Must Know” serves as a reminder of the importance of proactive measures in combating breast cancer. As efforts towards breast cancer awareness and prevention continue, collaborations between stakeholders are vital for achieving meaningful progress in breast healthcare.
