Breast cancer makes up about 11.6 % of the number of cancer incidences across the world. An average of 2.1 million people mainly women suffer from breast cancer annually. In India breast cancer stands as one of the top three types of cancer-related diseases. Recently there has been increasing in the number of breast cancer cases in women age between 20 to 30 years. This could be attributed to the covid-19, but changing reproductive patterns and hormonal imbalances could also cause breast cancer in women.
