Community perceptions and individual experiences of breast cancer in communities in and around Bangalore, India: a qualitative study

Rachel M. Maggi et al.

Summary: The study revealed that breast cancer awareness primarily comes from interpersonal relationships, self-experience, mass media, and medical personnel. The main barriers to seeking care for breast cancer include cost of care, lack of female doctors, fears related to diagnosis and death. Stigma of breast cancer leads to possible isolation by community members and delays in seeking care.

Modified Radical Mastectomy vs Breast-Conserving Surgery: Current Clinical Practice in Women with Early Stage Breast Cancer at a Corporate Tertiary Cancer Center in India

Sachin S. Kadam et al.

Summary: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in urban India, and surgery plays a definitive role in its treatment. Studies have shown that breast-conserving surgery followed by radiotherapy has similar disease-free survival and overall survival rates compared to mastectomy. The treating surgeon and patient's husband are key decision-makers for surgical options, with active participation of women during counseling being important.

Sociodemographic correlates of cervix, breast and oral cancer screening among Indian women

Zhu Changkun et al.

Summary: This study provides important insights into the current scenario of seeking cancer screening services among women in India. The findings suggest that older age, urban residence, higher education, employment, health insurance ownership, exposure to electronic media, higher household wealth, and better healthcare autonomy are associated with a higher uptake of cancer screening services. Additionally, the strength of these associations varies between urban and rural residents, indicating the need for region-specific intervention strategies.

Access to Radiation Therapy: From Local to Global and Equality to Equity

Sarbani Ghosh Laskar et al.

Summary: The discipline of radiation oncology is faced with challenges in terms of accessibility and affordability, particularly in low-income and low-middle-income countries. The distribution of radiation therapy machines and brachytherapy facilities is unequal, while there is also a deficit in simulators, radiation oncologists, and medical physicists. Measures to address these challenges include adopting indigenous technology, promoting public-private partnerships, relaxing custom duties, enhancing human resources training, and conducting innovative research.

21-Gene Assay to Inform Chemotherapy Benefit in Node-Positive Breast Cancer

Kevin Kalinsky et al.

Summary: The study showed that among premenopausal women with hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer and one to three positive lymph nodes with a recurrence score of 25 or lower, the addition of chemotherapy to endocrine therapy led to longer invasive disease-free survival and distant relapse-free survival compared to endocrine therapy alone. However, postmenopausal women with similar characteristics did not benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy in terms of invasive disease-free survival.

Effect of screening by clinical breast examination on breast cancer incidence and mortality after 20 years: prospective, cluster randomised controlled trial in Mumbai

Indraneel Mittra et al.

Summary: The study found that clinical breast examination conducted every two years by primary health workers significantly downstaged breast cancer at diagnosis and led to a non-significant 15% reduction in breast cancer mortality overall, with a significant reduction of nearly 30% in mortality in women aged 50 and older. No significant reduction in mortality was observed in women younger than 50 years. The results suggest that clinical breast examination should be considered for breast cancer screening in low and middle income countries.
