About breast cancer

Breast cancer begins in the cells of the breast, most often in the milk ducts or lobules. Detected early, it is among the most treatable cancers. Treatment is planned by a multidisciplinary tumour board and may combine surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormonal therapy, and targeted therapy depending on the type, stage, and receptor status of the tumour.

Signs to watch for

  • A new lump in the breast or armpit
  • Change in breast size or shape
  • Skin dimpling or puckering
  • Nipple discharge other than breast milk
  • Nipple turning inward
  • Redness or flaky skin around the nipple

Most of these have other causes too. If one lasts, see a doctor.

Who is at higher risk

  • Increasing age
  • Family history of breast or ovarian cancer
  • Inherited gene changes such as BRCA1/BRCA2
  • Early menstruation or late menopause
  • Obesity and low physical activity
  • Alcohol consumption

Having a risk factor doesn’t mean you will get cancer.

How it’s diagnosed

Evaluation typically includes clinical breast examination, mammography or ultrasound, and a needle biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. Receptor testing (ER/PR/HER2) and staging scans such as PET-CT guide the treatment plan.

Many of these tests can be arranged by your CION team in Vizag.

Treatment options

Your plan depends on the type and stage of the cancer and on your overall health. CION’s tumour board agrees on it with you.

  • Breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) or mastectomy, with oncoplastic options

    Through CION’s network
  • Chemotherapy, including day-care administration

  • Radiation therapy planned to spare healthy tissue

    Through CION’s network
  • Hormonal (endocrine) therapy for receptor-positive disease

Common questions

Tap a question to see the answer.

Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.

1Is a breast lump always cancer?

No. Most breast lumps are benign, but every new lump should be checked by a doctor. A clinical exam with imaging, and a biopsy where needed, gives a clear answer.

2Can the breast be saved during surgery?

In many early-stage cases breast-conserving surgery followed by radiation is possible. Your surgical oncologist will advise based on tumour size, location, and breast size.

3How soon should treatment start after diagnosis?

Treatment is usually started within a few weeks of diagnosis, after staging and tumour board review. Starting with a complete plan matters more than starting in haste.

4Where is breast cancer treated near Vizag?
