Rethinking Breast Cancer Screening In India: Why Mammograms May Not Be A Game-Changer

Breast cancer is now the most common cancer among Indian women, striking younger and harder than in the West. Across the country, awareness campaigns emphasize mammography as the cornerstone of early detection. Yet, despite these efforts, nearly 40–50% of women diagnosed with breast cancer in India do not survive largely due to late detection.

Dr. Mandeep Singh Malhotra, Senior Oncologist and Co-founder of Art of Healing Cancer, helps us understand why it might not be and what alternatives may work better.

According to data from the National Cancer Registry Programme (2010–2012), Indian women are typically diagnosed between the ages of 45 and 49, and in regions like India’s North-East, the average age drops even lower to 35–40 years. This is nearly a decade younger than in Western countries.

What is fuelling India’s most common cancers in men and women? Oncologists reveal

According to a new study by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), India recorded an estimated 1.56 million new cancer cases and 874,404 deaths in 2024 alone.

The report, titled Cancer Incidence and Mortality Across 43 Cancer Registries in India, also projected that if current trends continue, the country could see as many as 2.46 million cancer cases annually by 2045.

“Breast cancer is rising rapidly in India. While a small percentage of cases are hereditary, the majority are lifestyle-related. Modern factors such as late pregnancies, obesity, alcohol use, and high stress all contribute to the rise,” explains Dr. Mandeep Singh Malhotra, Director of Surgical Oncology at the CK Birla Hospital, Delhi.

Can stress & burnout lead to cancer?

Dr Mandeep Singh, chief oncologist at Art of Healing Cancer, points to significant retrospective evidence.

He explains, "Chronic stress creates hormonal imbalances and increased cortisol and cytokine release. While cortisol reduces immunity. cytokines drive inflammation and angiogenesis, which fuels metastasis.

Together, these changes make people, sometimes even in their 20s and 30s, more vulnerable to cancer.

More Than Just Shrinking The Tumour: Expert Tells How Neoadjuvant Therapy Changes The Game In Breast Cancer Treatment

Breast cancer has a strange way of being both familiar and frightening. Almost everyone knows someone who has battled it, and yet the details of treatment often sound like an alien language. According to the World Health Organisation, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, with 2.3 million new cases in 2022 alone. Among these, about 15 to 20 per cent are HER2-positive, the type that is fast-moving, aggressive, and hard to ignore.

Increasingly, the doctors are turning to a strategy that feels a bit like hitting “pause” before the main act—neoadjuvant therapy.

“HER2-positive breast cancer is an aggressive type,” explains Dr Mandeep Singh Malhotra, co-founder, Art Of Healing Cancer. “It is very important to give the right information to patients and their families for better outcomes. With the right treatment sequence, it is possible to offer better treatment to patients.”

Breakthrough Personalized Treatment Preserves Voice in Cancer Patient!

A man in his late 50s with advanced laryngopharyngeal cancer, traditionally treated with total laryngectomy and permanent voice loss, underwent a groundbreaking approach by Dr. Mandeep Singh Malhotra at CK Birla Hospital® & AOHC, Delhi. Using bio-selection, precision oncology, and robotic surgery, the team combined chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and high-dose vitamin C.

NGS testing at 4 baseC-are Genomics identified CCND and FGFR drivers, enabling targeted drugs Pamigatanib and Palbociclib. Within three cycles, scans showed dramatic tumor regression. Robotic surgery confirmed no residual cancer, with histopathology validating complete response-preserving the patient's voice and showcasing the power of personalized, precision-driven cancer care.In Dr. Malhotra's words, "This success underscores the potential of personalized medicine in the fight against laryngopharyngeal cancer."

Not just smokers: Doctors flag new risk factors for throat cancer in India

An increasing number of throat cancer cases are being diagnosed among non-smokers in India, particularly men under 60. Experts link this rise to HPV infections, lifestyle changes and environmental exposures.

But now, a growing number of patients, especially men in their 50s—are being diagnosed without any history of smoking,” said Dr Mandeep Singh Malhotra, Director of Surgical Oncology at CK Birla Hospital, Delhi.

Why head and neck cancers often go undiagnosed?

Head and neck cancers, often misdiagnosed, face diagnostic delays due to symptom misattribution and misconceptions about biopsies. Infrastructure limitations and slow biopsy report turnaround times further exacerbate the problem.

In head and neck cancers, the principle is straightforward: early detection leads to simpler, safer, and more effective treatment. Early-stage cancers that have not invaded the skin, jawbone, or lymph nodes can often be treated with minimally invasive surgery. Such procedures are not only functionally and aesthetically favourable but may also eliminate the need for chemotherapy or radiation therapy. - Dr Mandeep Singh Malhotra, Director of Surgical Oncology at CK Birla Hospital (R), Delhi
