Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in most cities in India and second most common in the rural areas. Breast cancer accounts for 25% to 32% of all female cancer in all cities. Lack of awareness of breast cancer and lack of screening are the major causes of early diagnosis of the disease.

Women must feel that doing this is important to their health which can be done every month regularly and the breast abnormalities can be detected.
