Abstract in brief

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Indian women, with high incidence and mortality rates, especially in urban areas like Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, and Thiruvananthapuram.
There has been a significant increase in breast cancer cases over time from 1982 to 2014 across various regions, with rural areas showing higher mortality-to-incidence ratios compared to urban areas.
Young women are identified as a major risk group, and the projected number of breast cancer cases in India is expected to reach nearly 1.8 million by 2020, with better awareness, screening, and treatment improving outcomes.
