Introduction
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women in India, but with early detection and timely treatment, survival rates improve significantly. Regular breast screening can help identify issues before they become serious.
What Is Breast Screening?
Breast screening involves clinical breast exams, mammography, and ultrasound to detect lumps, cysts, or abnormal tissue at an early stage.
Benefits of Early Detection
- Increases treatment success rates
- Minimizes the need for aggressive treatments

Who Should Get Screened?
- Women above 40 years should undergo regular mammograms.
- Those with a family history of breast cancer may need screening earlier.
