Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in urban Indian women and the second most common cancer in all Indian women. The epidemiology as well as biology of this cancer seems to be different in the Indian subcontinent when compared with the West. The lack of population-based breast cancer screening programs and delay in seeking a medical consult due to financial and social reasons, including lack of awareness and fear related to a cancer diagnosis, results in delayed diagnosis.

摘要

乳腺癌是印度城市女性中最常见的癌症，也是所有印度女性中第二常见的癌症。与西方相比，这种癌症在印度次大陆的流行病学和生物学特征似乎有所不同。由于经济和社会原因，包括对癌症诊断的相关恐惧和缺乏意识，缺乏基于人群的乳腺癌筛查计划以及延迟寻求医疗咨询，导致诊断延迟。
