Breast Cancer Treatment in Rampurhat
Breast Cancer Treatment guidance for patients from Rampurhat, Birbhum, and Murshidabad with clinically grounded treatment planning.
What is Breast Cancer
Breast cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the breast grow uncontrollably and form a tumor. It is the most common cancer in women worldwide, though it can also occur in men. The breast is composed of lobules (milk-producing glands), ducts (which carry milk), and connective tissue. Most breast cancers begin in the ducts or lobules. Early detection through screening significantly improves outcomes.
