What Are Best Breast Cancer Treatments Options In India?
Breast cancer is a group of cancer cells (malignant tumor) that starts in the cells of the breast and invade surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to other areas of the body.
Breast cancer is a complex collection of many different subtypes, and there is no “one-size-fits-all” treatment. Classification helps determine the right treatment plan. Classification is done by finding out staging the disease and spread (metastasis).
The final line of treatment can be decided after the outcome of investigations and reviewing the patient in person.
Treatment is based on provisional diagnosis
Stage 1: If the cancer is localized and early stages patient will need surgery.
Stage 2: If cancer is localized and advanced patient will need surgery known as Mastectomy with Breast Conservation and Radiation therapy
Stage 3: If cancer is metastasized (spread to their body parts and organs) then the patient may need Surgery or Radiation followed by Chemotherapy
Stage 4: If cancer is multiple is metastasized and late stage then patient need Chemotherapy
Surgery is the main treatment for stage 1 and 2 breast cancers.
Mastectomy Surgery: Removal of cancerous breast tissue.
Breast Conservation Surgery: Surgically removal of cancer in the breast without removing the complete Breast.
Radiation therapy in Breast Cancer Treatment is usually given after surgery to lower the chance of the cancer relapse coming back in the breast.
Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy uses controlled doses of radiation to kill cancer cells.
Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer Treatment can be given before or after surgery. It involves using anti-cancer (cytotoxic) drugs to kill the cancer cells.
If the cancer cells are is hormone receptor-positive, hormone therapy is typically used in the treatment of Breast Cancer Treatment protocol.
Hormone Treatment: Some breast cancer cells are stimulated by hormones and this treatment works by lowering the levels of hormones in the body or by stopping their effects

Is Stage 4 /Metastatic breast cancer curable?
YES, NOW THERE IS HOPE FOR TREATMENT OF STAGE 4 BREAST CANCER………
In stage 4 the cancers spread to the other parts of the body. Often the bones, brain, lungs, or liver are affected as multiple areas may be involved, focused treatments like surgery or radiation alone may not be enough. So medical science has come up with the new technique to cure stage 4 Breast Cancer.
“EXACTA THERAPY”
How does the test help? • It reports all Genotyping data, Gene expression of Primary and Metastasis tumors. • Tests cytotoxic drug response/resistance of cancer genome.
Exacta is useful for cancer patients where: • First Line Therapy has failed • Cancer has relapsed • Cancer is a High Grade / Metastatic • Risk of Therapy Failure is high.
Leading oncology solution, proven to translate into clinical benefit
Exacta reaches the depths of cancer’s mechanisms through 100s of millions of data points. Exacta elucidates deepest secrets of the patient by accurate, multi-coordinate analysis of all 22,000 genes in the cancer genome through 100s of millions of data points. This reveals all mutations and pathways of an individual gene. Once the doctor has the details Gene study, DNA and RNA study and the molecular Pathway taken by Cancer Cells, the doctors are able to come out with a list of drugs that may work best on such Genotypes and Cell Types. Further, the Biopsy Sample is subjected to such recommended drugs to shortlist the best drugs that work and thereafter a treatment plan is defined. The patients have been having miraculous results in stage 4 solid tumors including Breast Cancer cases.
Thus this absolute “Exacta Therapy” enables highly sophisticated treatment for 4th stage Breast Cancer patients.
