Breast Cancers
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women and, less commonly, men. It develops when abnormal cells in the breast grow uncontrollably and form a tumor. With early diagnosis and advances in precision oncology and immunotherapy, breast cancer today is highly treatable, and outcomes have significantly improved. Dr. (Prof.) Jyoti Bajpai specializes in personalized breast cancer care, including young-onset breast cancer, pregnancy-associated breast cancer, and complex or advanced cases, following globally accepted treatment guidelines.
Treatment Options
Breast cancer treatment is individualized based on cancer type, stage, molecular profile, and patient health. Treatment may include:
- Chemotherapy – To destroy cancer cells or reduce tumor size
- Hormonal Therapy – For hormone receptor–positive breast cancers
- Targeted Therapy – Precision medicines targeting specific cancer pathways
- Immunotherapy – Advanced immune-based treatment for selected breast cancers
- Supportive & Palliative Care – To manage side effects and improve quality of life
Causes & Risk Factors
While the exact cause is often unknown, factors that may increase the risk of breast cancer include:
- Family history or genetic mutations (such as BRCA genes)
- Hormonal factors and early or late menopause
- Increasing age
- Obesity and sedentary lifestyle
- Alcohol consumption
- Previous radiation exposure
- Pregnancy-associated hormonal changes
Prevention & Early Detection
Although breast cancer cannot always be prevented, early detection and healthy lifestyle choices significantly reduce risk and improve outcomes:
- Regular breast self-examinations
- Clinical breast examinations and screening mammography
- Maintaining a healthy weight and active lifestyle
- Limiting alcohol consumption
- Genetic counseling for high-risk individuals
- Early medical consultation for any breast lump, pain, or skin changes
