Five-year breast cancer survival rate at 66.4 percent across 11 geographical areas in India: Study

A study conducted in India reveals that the five-year survival rate for women with breast cancer is 66.4%. The study analyzed data from 17,331 patients diagnosed between 2012 and 2015 in 11 different regions of India. Mizoram, Ahmedabad-Urban, Kollam, and Thiruvananthapuram had higher survival rates than the national average. However, the survival rate in India is lower compared to developed countries like the United States. Late-stage diagnosis, limited access to treatment facilities, and socioeconomic factors contribute to the lower survival rates in India.
