Overview
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in India, yet when caught early it is also among the most treatable. Kamal Medicare runs a dedicated breast clinic led by Dr. Yogesh Bung, bringing screening, breast-conserving (oncoplastic) surgery, chemotherapy and reconstruction together under one roof in Solapur.
Symptoms to watch for
- A new lump or thickening in the breast or underarm
- Change in breast size, shape or contour
- Dimpling, puckering or redness of the skin
- Nipple discharge, especially bloody, or an inward-turning nipple
- Persistent breast or nipple pain
How it is diagnosed
- Clinical breast examination
- Mammography and breast ultrasound
- Core-needle biopsy or FNAC
- MRI and staging scans when required
Treatment options
- Breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) — removes the tumour while preserving the breast
- Mastectomy with reconstruction — for larger or multifocal tumours
- Chemotherapy and targeted therapy — day-care cycles tailored to the tumour type
- Hormonal therapy — for hormone-receptor-positive cancers
- Radiation therapy — coordinated with partner centres
Frequently asked questions
Can my breast be saved?
In many early cancers, yes. Breast-conserving (oncoplastic) surgery removes the tumour while keeping the natural breast shape, usually followed by radiation.
Is treatment free under Ayushman Bharat?
Yes. Eligible patients receive cashless breast cancer treatment under PM-JAY and MJPJAY, and our assistance desk handles the paperwork.
