Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths and the second most-fatal health burden in India. With over 2 million cases worldwide, there has been a sharp increase in breast cancer cases in India.

There were 162,468 new registered cases and 87,090 reported deaths in India due to breast cancer.

Acknowledging that breast cancer is one of the essential health issues in India would be the first step towards making people cognizant of the disease. It is fast developing into a public health crisis , and society’s uncomfortableness to talk about women’s bodies has made the situation even worse. Women should know how their breasts normally look and feel and report any breast changes to a healthcare provider right away. Cancer is a disease that influences not solely the patient but also the entire family, both emotionally and financially. The costs of treatment can result in serious economic restraints.

One woman gets diagnosed with breast cancer every 4 minutes in India, and one woman dies of breast cancer every 13 minutes, making it the most prevalent cancer among Indian women. Women in India are generally diagnosed at a later, more advanced stage with poor prognosis. About 1 in 28 women are expected to develop breast cancer during their lifetime. By 2030, breast cancer will cause most deaths among women in India than any other malady.

There are different symptoms of breast cancer, and some people have no symptoms at all. Symptoms can include

•Any change in the size or the shape of the breast.
Pain in any area of the breast.
•Nipple discharge other than breast milk (including blood).
•A new lump in the breast or underarms

If you have any signs that worry you, see your doctor right away.

The mission for this day is simple, raise as much awareness of lung cancer as you can, while encouraging people to screen themselves for this disease.
First described by doctors in the early 19th century, lung cancer was an extremely rare disease for a very long time. Some 150 years ago, people had only heard of this disease, and studies showed less than 1% to 2% of the population was afflicted with it. Cut to the next century, and the scenario changed completely. While still rare in the early part of the 20th century, by the end, it became the leading cause of male cancer-related deaths in more than 25 countries.

No one knew how this happened and what caused this dramatic rise. A scientifically significant handbook written in the 1930s — the Springer Handbook of Special Pathology — postulated that this rise could be a direct result of the increasingly polluted air, greater frequency of traffic, and even an increased exposure to gasses during World War I. But this handbook, like many others, could not explain why lung cancer also rose in countries without any of the above factors. Smoking was also suspected to be a factor, but no particular importance was given to studying this theory. It was only when studies conducted in the 1940s and ’50s showed hard evidence linking lung cancer to smoking that people realized the ill effects of ni****ne and to***co.

As smoking was now a recognized cause of lung cancer, many people globally did their best to quit this habit, and this widespread movement saw a gradual decline in lung cancer incidence, at least in males. Unfortunately for the world, lung cancer does not have only one cause. Long-term exposure (via air) to all carcinogenic materials — among them radon gas, uranium, and asbestos — plays a role in lung cancer development too. By the 21st century, lung cancer-related ailments were common and quickly displaced other forms of cancer on the mortality charts. With this upward trend came an increased awareness of lung cancers and their causes. Days and events like these are a major factor contributing to lung cancer research and awareness activities.
