Around 10 lakh women die of breast cancer in India every year, Roots Health Foundation chairman Dr. P. Vijay Bhaskar has said, adding that early detection can ensure a cure.
The Roots Health Foundation, in association with South Central Railway (SCR), launched ‘Pink Ribbon Campaign’ on October 8 (Sunday) as part of the Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Vijay Bhaskar said that breast cancer was on the rise due to the change in lifestyle, obesity, consumption of junk foods, hormonal imbalances and genetic disorders in the country.
