Breast cancer is among the most common cancer that affects women in India and globally. Out of four women, one of them is affected by this ailment. Breast cancer is gradually increasing in different countries. It is usually detected in the advanced stages and hence women usually die from this disease. Early detection is the best way to deal with this disease.

Narishakti- A one-stop breast cancer detection and treatment center for women by women specialist doctors was announced. This center is located at Peerless Hospital, Kolkata.

Gracing the press conference were Dr. Madhuchanda Kar, Clinical Director, Medical Oncology and Consultant Sr. Oncologist, Dr. Suma Chakrabarthi, Sr. Consultant Breast Radiologist, Dr. Pragati Singhal, Consultant Breast Surgery, and others.

The breast cancer treatment department involves providing a supportive environment to the women who will be undergoing breast cancer screening, diagnosis, treatment, and post-treatment care.

“When someone comes for breast examination, they usually look for female doctors. This is the reason why this center is equipped with women oncologists, breast onco-surgeons, breast radiologists, and others. This will enable the patients to speak freely and talk about their concerns with the doctor” said Dr. Madhuchanda Kar.
