Abstract
The aim of this study is to report our experience concerning the presentation of breast cancer patients and their management in a newly started medical college hospital. An open non-comparative cross-sectional study was performed on breast cancer patients presenting at our setup in the initial two years. Patients presenting with breast lump, nipple discharge and/or breast pain were evaluated by clinical, pathological and radiological modalities. They were staged and treated as per standard protocol. Follow up was carried out over these two years, minimum for 6 months. Comparable results with other developed centers were obtained. Carcinoma Breast can be well treated even in a newly started setup with limited facility and availability of radiotherapy center in the near vicinity.
