“Proud to share my most impactful work yet:
Our article on breast cancer epidemiology, management, and disparities in India is now published in JCO Global Oncology!
Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer among Indian women and a rising threat in developing countries, with India ranking third in incidence but first in mortality, reflecting systemic gaps in early detection and equitable care. Late presentation remains a major challenge, as most women arrive at advanced stages where treatment is more complex and outcomes are poorer.
Although management follows global protocols, India faces unique barriers, including limited infrastructure, uneven distribution of specialists, restricted access to radiotherapy and pathology, and significant sociodemographic obstacles such as low screening rates, stigma, and financial distress.
Our review highlights solutions such as hub-and-spoke cancer centers, community-based education, tailored approaches, and the urgent need for India-specific data, guidelines, and awareness campaigns to expand screening, strengthen rural healthcare, and design context-appropriate policies.
Read, share, and build on this work.”
