Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Zen Hospital’s Initiatives in Chembur, Mumbai
Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers affecting women globally, and October is recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This initiative aims to increase awareness about the importance of early detection, treatment options, and support systems. At Zen Multi Specialty Hospital in Chembur, Mumbai, we are committed to playing an active role in promoting awareness and providing comprehensive care to our community.
Understanding Breast Cancer
Breast cancer occurs when cells in the breast begin to grow uncontrollably. It can affect both men and women, though it is more common in women. Recognizing the signs and symptoms early can significantly improve treatment outcomes. Symptoms may include:
- A lump in the breast or underarm
- Changes in the shape or size of the breast
- Unexplained pain in the breast or nipple
- Changes in the skin texture or color
