Breast Cancer Treatment in India

The duration of breast cancer treatment varies depending on the stage and chosen therapies. Surgical recovery may take a few weeks, while chemotherapy or radiation can extend over several months. At Thangam Cancer Center, treatment schedules are tailored to ensure effectiveness and patient comfort.

Common breast cancer symptoms include a lump in the breast or underarm, changes in breast size or shape, nipple discharge, skin dimpling, and persistent breast or nipple pain. At Thangam Cancer Center, we recommend regular self-examination and screening tests like mammograms, as early detection greatly improves treatment success.

Women over 40, those with a family history of breast cancer, genetic mutations such as BRCA1/2, obesity, and lifestyle factors like smoking or alcohol use are at higher risk. Though less common, men can also develop breast cancer. At Thangam Cancer Center, we encourage individuals with these risk factors to undergo regular screening and preventive check-ups for early detection.

Diagnosis is made using clinical breast exams, mammography, ultrasound, MRI, and biopsy. At Thangam Cancer Center, advanced diagnostic tools ensure accurate and early detection, which is crucial for effective breast cancer treatment.

The main types of breast cancer include ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), invasive ductal carcinoma, invasive lobular carcinoma, triple-negative breast cancer, and HER2-positive breast cancer. Each type responds differently to treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy. At Thangam Cancer Center, our specialists identify the exact type and create a personalized treatment plan for the best possible outcome.

Breast cancer treatment often begins with surgery, which may include a mastectomy (removal of the breast) or a breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy). Depending on the stage and type, additional treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy may be recommended. At Thangam Cancer Center, our oncology team combines these options into personalized treatment plans to achieve the best outcomes for each patient.

Five early signs of breast cancer include: 

• A lump in the breast or underarm

If you notice any of these symptoms, Thangam Cancer Center recommends immediate consultation and screening, as early detection offers the best chance of successful treatment for breast cancer.
