A recent study by the Indian Council of Medical Research shows that higher physical activity lowers the risk of breast cancer in Indian women. The research points out that age over 50 years triples the risk compared to women under 35. Women with more than two induced abortions face a higher risk as well. However, breastfeeding duration and oral contraceptive use do not significantly affect risk. The study analyzed data from several research papers up to December 2024. It highlights other risk factors such as reproductive timing, hormone exposure, central obesity, family history, poor sleep quality, irregular sleep, and stress. Breast cancer accounts for nearly 23% of cancers in Indian women. The incidence is expected to rise by about 5.6% each year, adding 50,000 new cases annually. Survival rates vary with the stage at diagnosis - 81% for localized cancer, 65.5% for regional spread, and just 18.3% for distant metastasis. The research calls for large, multi-center studies to develop targeted prevention and early detection strategies. It urges public health to focus on reducing central obesity and providing early reproductive health counseling. The study concludes, "Well-designed, prospective, multicentric studies with standardised measurements are urgently needed to strengthen causal inference and support the development of India-specific breast cancer risk prediction tools."
