"Presently 4 percent are in the age group of 20-30 years and 16 percent in 30-40 years. An increasing number of patients are in the 20-40 years of age and this definitely is a very disturbing trend. In India breast cancer is now the most common cancer in most cities and second most common in rural areas. This is due to rapid urbanization and also certain modifiable risk factors like early menstrual period, late or no pregnancy, late menopause, being overweight, not physically active, using combination hormonal therapy as contraceptive, which when reinforced can bring down the incidences of breast cancer to moderation", believes Dr.P.Guhan.



Hence, Sri Ramakrishna Institute of Oncology and Research (SRIOR) announces a month long free breast cancer checkup and mammogram on all working days from 9 AM to 5 PM. This is been done on an appointment basis. Contact 0422-4389797, 95007-22889
