Experts flag lifestyle, screening lapses as reasons

This comes as government data states that incidence and mortality rates due to breast cancer have been incrementally increasing in India.

According to National Cancer Registry Program (NCRP) data cited by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in a parliamentary response this year, while the estimated rate of incidence increased from 200,218 cases in 2019 to 221,579 cases in 2023, the mortality increased from 74,481 to 82,429 at the same time.

The data also suggests that states such as Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and West Bengal had the highest incidences of breast cancer in 2023.
