Breast cancer has become the number one cancer among women in metropolitan cities. The cases are rapidly rising, with 1 in 25-30 urban women likely to suffer from breast cancer during their lifetime. This is much lower than the US (1 in 8 women) or UK (1 in 12 women). However, it is much higher than that in rural India (1 in 70 women). The other disturbing fact is that it is rising in the younger age group (between 35 – 45 years).
