Breast cancer is a type of cancer that forms in the cells of the breast. It is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide, although men can also develop breast cancer, albeit at a much lower rate. Breast cancer can originate in different parts of the breast, such as the ducts that carry milk (ductal carcinoma) or the glands that produce milk (lobular carcinoma). It can also occur in other breast tissues.

Treatment options for breast cancer depend on its stage and other factors. Common treatments include surgery (lumpectomy or mastectomy), radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Treatment plans are individualized based on the patient’s specific situation.

Dr.Aswin is able to deliver radiation within a week (5days) for early breast cancer patients without much side effects and with good cosmetic outcome for patients who have undergone breast conservation surgery. As the treatment duration is shorter, his patients are able to resume their work early. Dr.Aswin underwent special training for the same along with Deep Inspiratory Breath Hold technique (DIBH) at University of North Midlands, Stoke on Trent, United Kingdom.
