health 🎗️ 1 in 8 Indian Women Diagnosed With Late-Stage Breast Cancer
A new study reveals that nearly 13% of women in India are diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. This finding is based on data from over 76,000 women across India's National Cancer Registry Programme. This rate is roughly double that observed in many high-income countries. Experts suggest low awareness and stigma are major contributors to these delayed diagnoses. Early detection through self-checks and screenings is highlighted as crucial for better outcomes.
