Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, with over 2 million new cases diagnosed each year. In India, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every 4 minutes. One woman loses the battle to breast cancer every 8 minutes. In India over 40% women still present with large tumors and locally advanced breast cancer and of these, 75% lose their breasts. As per recent surveys, the survival rate of patients with breast cancer is poor in India as compared to western countries due to late stage of disease at presentation and delayed initiation of cancer directed treatment. Early detection reduces the mortality rate by 90% by improving survival rates, as the chances of successful treatment are significantly higher when the cancer is caught early.

Traditionally, the breast cancer diagnosis process can be lengthy and anxiety-inducing, often taking several days or even weeks to obtain a definitive diagnosis. This can be a particularly difficult time for patients, as they are left in limbo, unsure of their diagnosis.

How is breast cancer diagnosed in a faster and precise way?

A coordinated multidisciplinary approach helps reduce the time between screenings, primary evaluation and diagnosis for the patient. Apollo utilizes a systematic patient-friendly approach for the quick diagnosis of breast cancer through the following steps:

• The patient consults our breast cancer expert with suspicion of a breast lump.
• She undergoes investigations such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI, to quickly and accurately assess any suspicious breast abnormalities.
• When the above investigations report a probable breast lesion, the patient will undergo breast biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of breast cancer.
• Upon a confirmed breast cancer diagnosis, further investigations for staging and planning will be undertaken and a final plan of care will be proposed.

Apollo has an expert team of clinicians including breast surgeons, radiologists and pathologists. By working together, these professionals can ensure that patients receive a comprehensive and timely diagnosis.
