Breast cancer is now the most common cancer affecting people worldwide, with 2.3 million new cases and around 700,000 deaths each year. In India, someone is diagnosed every four minutes, and someone loses her life to breast cancer every eight minutes.

But behind these numbers is a question every woman and every family needs to ask: how do we understand breast cancer without fear taking over?

To make sense of all this, in this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, I’m joined by Dr P. Raghu Ram,  OBE, Founder Director of KIMS-Ushalakshmi Centre for Breast Diseases and one of India’s most respected breast cancer surgeons. Dr Raghu Ram has spent decades advancing breast cancer awareness, early detection and specialist care in India.
