ABSTRACT
The World Health Organization's International agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, estimates that more than 150 000 women worldwide die of breast cancer each year. The breast cancer is one among the top three cancers in American women. In United States, the American Cancer Society estimates that, 215 990 new cases of breast carcinoma has been diagnosed, in 2004. It is the leading cause of death due to cancer in women under the age of 65 . In India, breast cancer accounts for 23% of all the female cancers followed by cervical cancers (17.5%) in metropolitan cities such as Mumbai, Calcutta, and Bangalore. However, cervical cancer is still number one in rural India. Although the incidence is lower in India than in the developed countries, the burden of breast cancer in India is alarming. Organ chlorines are considered a possible cause for hormone-dependent cancers . Detection of early and subtle signs of breast cancer requires high-quality images and skilled mammographic interpretation. In order to detect early onset of cancers in breast screening, it is essential to have high-quality images. Radiologists reading mammograms should be trained in the recognition of the signs of early onset of, which may be subtle and may not show typical malignant features. Mammography screening programs have shown to be effective in decreasing breast cancer mortality through the detection and treatment of early onset of breast cancers.
Emotional disturbances are known to occur in patient's suffering from malignant diseases even after treatment. This is mainly because of a fear of death, which modifies Quality Of Life (QOL). Desai et al.,reported an immuno histo chemical analysis of steroid receptor status in 798 cases of breast tumors encountered in Indian patients, suggests that breast cancer seen in the Indian population may be biologically different from that encountered in western practice. Most imaging studies and biopsies of the breast are conducted using mammography or ultrasound, in some cases, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging . Although by now some progress has been achieved, there are still remaining challenges and directions for future research such as developing better enhancement and segmentation algorithms.
