Understanding the delays in diagnosis of breast cancer in India using blogs and YouTube videos
This study highlights the complex barriers that contributed to delayed breast cancer diagnosis among Indian breast cancer survivors, through their own personal accounts. These findings highlight the need for enhanced public health education about breast cancer, improved healthcare professional training, and culturally sensitive support to improve early detection, which will ultimately reduce breast cancer mortality and improve the quality of life for Indian women.
