Breast cancer has become one of the leading causes of cancer casualties among women around the world. October is observed as World Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and so The GUIDE invited two Mumbai oncologists to debunk several myths about it, and to throw light on the signs to watch out for
Myth: It can’t happen to me. I am feeling well.
Truth: Cancer may strike anyone. Until the disease is advanced, there are often no symptoms.
Myth: Bras/under-wired bras cause breast cancer.
Truth: The type of bra worn is unrelated to development of breast cancer.
