Indian Women's Health: Cancer Specialist Urges Early Detection, No Delay

• Indian women often neglect their own health, prioritizing others, leading to late cancer diagnoses.
• Breast, cervical, and ovarian cancers are the most common among women in India; 1.92 lakh new breast cancer cases in 2022.
• Breast cancer increasingly affects younger women; cervical cancer is preventable with regular screening (after 30) and HPV vaccination (9-14 years).
• Ovarian cancer's vague symptoms often lead to delayed diagnosis, highlighting the need for awareness and early action.
• Dr. Rajanigandha Tudu stresses self-exams, routine screenings, healthy lifestyle, and not delaying medical advice for a long, healthy future.
