Breast Cancer Screening Programme

Due to the continuing increase in non-communicable diseases in all sections of society in India, Cancer Screening has become a high priority component for any public health package to women’s health. Two of the major causes of morbidity and mortality among middle-aged Indian women are Breast and Cervical cancers. While an increasing incidence of breast cancer has been reported from several population-based cancer registries in metropolitan towns, CFI has been working to promote breast cancer awareness and breast self examination.
