MTE successful for early detection of breast cancer in India

Delhi recently hosted Dr Frank Hoffmann to talk about the internationally accepted Discovering Hands concept and ‘Tactile Breast Examination’ (TBE) technique. A validation study was started by the CK Birla Hospital to study the same. Commenting on the findings, Director, Surgical Oncology & The Breast Centre at the CK Birla Hospital, said, “The country is witnessing a steady rise in incidence of breast cancer. One in 22 women are likely to suffer from breast cancer during their lifetime and a contributor is inadequate screening and advanced stage of presentation.”
