Impressed with the successful implementation of South Asia’s largest population based breast cancer screening Programme in the Telugu States by Ushalakshmi Breast Cancer Foundation, Dr. Raghu Ram was invited to be part of a high powered Steering Committee set up by Ministry of Health (Govt, of India), which has recently approved incorporating CBE as part of National Cancer Screening Guidelines.ln August 2016, the Hon’ble Union Health Minister announced pan India launch of the CBE based breast cancer Screening Programme alongside Screening Programme for oral and Cervical Cancers. The focus on these three cancers is based on the fact that they are common, amenable to early detection and have a high potential for cure.
More than 60% of breast cancers in India present in the advanced stages and hence death rate from breast cancer is also very high.Lack of awareness & absence of an organized National Breast cancer screening programme are the main reasons accounting for late presentation.Although Screening Mammography is the best proven way of detecting breast cancer very early in the impalpable stages, it is not a viable option for population based screening in India. Reasons: enormous costs, early age at diagnosis (< 50 years), huge variation in mammographic reporting & issues relating to quality assurance.
