Breast cancer is a malignant tumour that develops from the cells of the breast. It is one of the most common cancers affecting women in India, with a significant and growing prevalence in Pune. The condition arises when breast cells begin to grow abnormally and divide without control, forming a tumour that can invade nearby tissues and, if untreated, spread to other organs through the lymphatic system or bloodstream.
