Dr Veda Padma Priya, Senior Consultant, Department of Breast Oncology and Oncoplasty at MGM Healthcare, is here to bust a few popular myths about breast cancer.

“Breast cancer only affects older women.” Do not believe in such misconceptions and neglect your breast health. No age is immune to breast cancer. However, older women are at a higher risk of developing breast cancer. That doesn’t mean younger women do not get breast cancer. Globally, 7/10 women with breast cancer are under the age of 40.
