Changing Lifestyles Have Increased the Incidence of Breast Cancer in India
Forty-year-old Dayanand Yadav is the only male patient at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences' (AIIMS) breast cancer clinic.
Yadav had never imagined he could suffer from what is usually seen to be a woman's disease.
And, coming to terms with it, is proving to be more difficult than the actual operation.
"I felt a swelling, which was increasing. I ignored it earlier, but four to five months later, I began convulsing in pain. When I showed it to the doctor, he told me that it was breast cancer and I must get it operated immediately," says Yadav
Breast cancer affects one man out of every one hundred cases in women. Lack of awareness means detection is usually late for men.
And, the cancer can spread quickly because of their small breast size. Many men never seek treatment.
According to Dr. M.K. Mishra, a surgeon at AIIMS, most of the patients suffering from breast cancer, come to hospital when the disease is at an advanced stage.
"Seventy percent of our patients come in an advanced stage of the disease where we have to use a lot of resources, the patient suffers much more because of the treatment, it is aggressive and side effects are there. And still we don't get the outcome we wish," Dr. Mishra said.
