Mission statement:

Breast Cancer Hub is an outstanding global initiative against the dreaded disease which not only needs treatment but also active awareness. Moreover, in a country like India women suffer from this disease not because of lack of treatment modalities but because of social aloofness and hideousness of the disease associated complications. Most of the time, the person gets diagnosed lately or does not get diagnosed at all. Social insecurity, indifference to use the term Breast publically and some sundry socio-cultural boundaries made India a major hub of Breast Malignancy. This problem can only be solved by proper knowledge propagation and awareness which may break the myth among women and they may be availed better treatment and management options.
