Breast Cancer
Breast Cancer Treatment in India
Beyond Conventional Treatment. Grounded in Evidence
As breast cancer cases in India continue to rise each year, awareness, early diagnosis, and expert care play a crucial role in improving the outcomes. It is the most common cancer among women in the country and yet, when the diagnosis arrives, most women are left navigating it alone.
Breast cancer is treatable. Detected early, it is often curable. The difference lies in where you go next.
Dr Tarang Krishna brings 20+ years of focused oncology experience and Cancer Healer Therapy, an integrative approach designed to work alongside your treatment and strengthen you through it.
What Is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer develops when cells in the breast tissue grow abnormally and without control. These cells can form a lump, spread to nearby lymph nodes, and, if undetected, reach distant organs.
It typically affects women, though men can develop it too. The encouraging truth: most breast cancers, when caught early, respond well to treatment.
What Are The Types Of Breast Cancer?
Understanding the type shapes the treatment plan
The most common type. Begins in the ducts and invades surrounding breast tissue.
Originates in the milk-producing lobules and can spread to nearby tissue.
Non-invasive. Cancer cells are confined to the milk ducts.
Lacks three common receptors; tends to be more aggressive and requires specific treatment strategies.
Rare but fast-moving. Causes redness, swelling, and warmth rather than a distinct lump.
What Are The Causes & Risk Factors Of Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer rarely has a single cause. Causes of breast cancer depend on several factors that contribute to the risk, some modifiable, some not.
Biological & Genetic factors may include:
BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations
Family history of breast or ovarian cancer
Dense breast tissue
Prior radiation exposure to the chest
Early menstruation or late menopause
Hormonal & Lifestyle factors may include:
Long-term use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
First pregnancy after age 30, or no full-term pregnancy
Obesity, especially after menopause
Regular alcohol consumption
Sedentary lifestyle
Risk factors may raise the likelihood, but awareness can make a meaningful difference in early detection.
What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Breast Cancer?
Most early-stage breast cancer causes no pain. That is why awareness is so important. Breast cancer symptoms may include:
A new lump or thickening in the breast or underarm
Change in breast size or shape
Unexplained nipple discharge (especially blood-stained)
Nipple turning inward
Persistent breast or chest pain
Swollen lymph nodes in the armpit or neck
Bone pain or unexplained fatigue
Skin ulceration over the breast
A lump that does not hurt is still worth examining. Do not wait for pain to seek an opinion.
How Is Breast Cancer Diagnosed?
Accurate diagnosis determines the right treatment. No two cases are identical. Breast cancer diagnosis may include the following:
Clinical Breast Examination: Initial physical assessment
Mammography: Standard imaging for detection and screening
Ultrasound: Differentiates solid masses from fluid-filled cysts
MRI: Used for high-risk patients or post-mammography clarification
Biopsy: Tissue sample to confirm cancer and determine type
Hormone Receptor & HER2 Testing: Defines the tumour's biology for targeted therapy
Genetic Testing: Identifies BRCA mutations for family risk assessment
What Are The Treatment Options For Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer treatment depends on the type, stage, hormone receptor status, and overall health.
Surgery
Radiation Therapy
Chemotherapy
Hormone Therapy
Targeted Therapy
Immunotherapy
Stem Cell / Bone Marrow Transplant
