Your breasts naturally change throughout the month, responding to hormonal shifts. Noticing these patterns can help you understand what’s normal for your body. A simple self-check a week after your period—when tenderness is lowest—makes it easier to spot any unusual changes early and stay aware of your breast health.

A privilege to contribute at the 53rd ICON – Indian Cooperative Oncology Network Conference 2025 at Cancer Hospital & Research Institute, Gwalior.
Shared my talk on Risk Reduction Surgery in Hereditary Cancers and joined the expert panel exploring who, when and how to test for hereditary cancers.

Many don’t realize that breast density plays a major role in cancer detection. Dense breasts have more glandular tissue, which can make tumors harder to spot on a mammogram. That’s why women with dense breasts may benefit from added screening like ultrasound or MRI—helping detect changes earlier and reduce risks.

Breastfeeding does more than nourish a baby—it may also offer long-term protection for mothers. Research shows it can lower breast cancer risk by reducing lifetime estrogen exposure and supporting healthier breast cell development. The longer the breastfeeding duration, the stronger the protective effect.

Breast cancer can return even after successful treatment, sometimes in the same area, nearby lymph nodes, or in other parts of the body. The chance of recurrence depends on the cancer type, stage, and earlier treatments. Staying consistent with follow-ups and maintaining a healthy lifestyle plays a key role in long-term protection.

Not all breast cancer runs in families. Only a small share—around 5–10%—is linked to inherited gene mutations like BRCA1 or BRCA2. Most cases happen without a strong genetic connection. Still, if multiple close relatives had breast or ovarian cancer, genetic testing can help you understand your personal risk better.

Many believe breast cancer is only a concern after 40, but younger women can be affected, too. Though less common, cases in the 20s and 30s do occur. Paying attention to changes, knowing your normal, and seeking timely evaluation can make a crucial difference. Awareness isn’t about age—it’s about staying informed.

We all recognize the pink ribbon, yet many people still can’t name the early signs of breast cancer beyond a lump. Real awareness means knowing the subtle changes—skin dimpling, ni**le changes, unusual swelling, or persistent discomfort. Symbols start conversations, but understanding symptoms can truly save lives.

Hormones play a major role in certain types of breast cancer. When tumors are sensitive to estrogen or progesterone, these hormones can encourage them to grow faster. That’s why treatments often include medicines that block hormonal signals. Understanding how hormones influence risk helps in making informed lifestyle and treatment choices.

Male breast cancer is uncommon, which is why many men don’t recognize the early clues. Changes like a firm lump behind the ni**le, unexpected discharge, or visible skin changes shouldn’t be overlooked. Because awareness is lower in men, early detection often gets delayed—knowing the signs can help save lives.
