One of every eight women diagnosed with breast cancer every year in India. And along with skin cancer, it is the next most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst women. Around 5 to 10% of breast cancers may attribute to an inherited cancer gene mutation. And around 85% of breast cancers occur in women who do not have any kind of history of breast cancer in their families. Like any other type of cancer, it is very important to detect Breast cancer at an early stage.

Lots of Campaigns are also out there to make awareness about breast cancer in females and it is safe to say that they are doing pretty good job.
