Bhubaneswar, Oct 23 [UDN}:A Breast Self-Examination (BSE) booth was inaugurated in the Department of Medical Oncology at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Bhubaneswar, as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Inaugurating the booth, AIIMS Bhubaneswar Executive Director Dr. Ashutosh Biswas emphasised the importance of early detection of breast cancer and timely treatment to improve patient outcomes.
Concern has been expressed over the rising incidence of breast cancer among young women. The initiative aims to raise awareness about breast self-examination and encourage women to become more conscious of changes in their breast health, enabling them to seek medical advice at an early stage.
