Breast Cancer is the most common cancer among women, but when detected early, it is highly treatable with excellent outcomes.

स्तनाचा कर्करोग हा महिलांमध्ये सर्वाधिक आढळणारा कर्करोग आहे. लवकर निदान व योग्य उपचारांमुळे पूर्ण बरे होण्याची शक्यता खूप जास्त असते.

🧬 What is Breast Cancer? | स्तनाचा कर्करोग म्हणजे काय?

Breast cancer develops when breast cells grow abnormally and uncontrollably, forming a lump (tumor). These cancer cells may spread to nearby lymph nodes and other organs if left untreated.

स्तनामधील पेशींची अनियंत्रित वाढ होऊन गाठ तयार होते. उपचार न घेतल्यास हा कर्करोग लसिका ग्रंथी (Lymph Nodes), हाडे, फुफ्फुसे, यकृत आणि मेंदूपर्यंत पसरू शकतो.
