India’s breast cancer scenario is also explained by the Top Breast Cancer Doctor in Kolkata  as the most common cancer in Indian cities, making up 25% to 30% of all cancer cases in urban women. It is the second most common cancer in rural India, and India diagnoses breast cancer every four minutes. BC rates among 30–50-year-old Indian women have grown recently and are predicted to continue.
