October has been designated as Breast Cancer Awareness Month by WHO, also known as Pink October, to raise awareness, promote early detection and fund research for breast cancer.

As per doctors, lifestyle factors such as poor diet, obesity, smoking, and alcohol consumption are contributing to the rise in cases. Delayed diagnosis and treatment are major challenges, leading to lower survival rate. Cases are reported more in urban areas. Almost 50% of all cases are in the age group of 25-50. And more than 70% of the cases present in the advanced stage had poor survival and high mortality.
