Warning Signs To Preventive Tests: How To Catch Breast Cancer Early

On Thursday, Mahima Chaudhry revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer during an annual health check-up and has made a full recovery after treatment. In a video clip on Instagram, Chaudhry said, "I did not have any symptoms. I was getting my regular tests done and the person who was doing the tests said I should go and get this checked with an oncologist," Chaudhry said in the video.

Doctors share that early detection of cancer is important for recovery, and that there are signs and symptoms that women can pay attention to. Stressing on the importance of self-examination and regular screenings, they also address the myths attached to breast cancer.

'SELF-EXAMINATION IS A MUST'

Self-breast examination is the ideal method to detect any breast lump - malignant or benign. "Every woman, especially after the age of 40, should do a periodic self-breast examination as this will lead to early diagnosis and treatment," says Dr Sunny Jain HOD and Sr Consultant Oncology Marengo QRG Hospital Faridabad. "During the examination, make sure to use the fat pads of the fingertips of the three middle fingers. Moving in small circles slowly around your breast, work toward the nipple. Press firmly to feel deep tissues, and gently to feel tissues under the skin. Be sure to cover the entire breast without skipping any areas. If any lump or thickening is felt, consult your doctor immediately," adds Dr Ramesh Sarin, Senior Consultant, Surgical Oncologist, Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi.

'SELF-EXAMS, REGULAR CHECK-UPS & TRIPLE ASSESSMENT IS MOST IMPORTANT'
