Figures are increasing at the rate of 2 percent every year
Cancer specialist Dr. Anu Rajpurohit, while talking exclusively to Local 18, said that in the current circumstances, any girl or woman can test herself. For this only awareness is needed. Breast cancer can be prevented by this. This figure is shocking but it is true that every year 1 lakh 78 thousand new breast cancer cases are being reported. It is increasing at the rate of two percent every year, by 2030 this figure will reach 2 lakh. Rajpurohit said that women can avoid this disease by screening themselves.
If village women reach late then their chances of survival become less.
Dr. Anu Rajpurohit said that this problem is more visible in villages. Due to shyness, the women of the village do not share their problems with everyone, due to this they are not able to go to the doctor. Due to this, their chances of recovery also reduce significantly. Therefore, it is our responsibility to make the village women aware in any way possible. By doing their own screening, women can reach the doctor on their own.
