Breast Cancer is rapidly emerging as a significant health crisis for women in India, with new data painting a concerning picture. A recent report from the diagnostics firm Healthians reveals that 16% of women aged 55-64 tested by the company are currently battling breast cancer. As Breast Cancer Awareness Month continues, these statistics highlight the often unseen struggles faced by thousands of women across India.

This growing burden of breast cancer calls for immediate measures, including better access to early detection methods, improved treatment options, and widespread awareness about prevention. With these numbers climbing, the call to action is becoming impossible to ignore.
