Cancer of the breast and uterine cervix are the most common cancers in our country. Diligent screening can detect both these cancers at quite an early stage. Detecting such cancers early increases the chance of cure from this dreadful disease.
Most Indian women present late with cancer. Some of the causes attributing to this are ignorance, hesitance, social embarrassment and reservations to reveal problems to male physicians.
