Review article highlights early detection and management strategies for breast cancer, suggesting effective approaches for practitioners.
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women in India and a significant contributor to cancer-related mortality. Early detection and evidence-based clinical interventions can substantially reduce the burden of breast cancer-related morbidity and mortality. This review article provides a comprehensive, context-specific overview of breast cancer prevention, diagnosis and management strategies for general physicians. There are low-cost and feasible screening approaches such as clinical breast examination (CBE) and breast self-examination, along with emerging technologies including artificial intelligence-enabled imaging and tactile breast examination devices. This review may serve as a practical guide to support frontline providers in reducing the breast cancer burden in India.
