Who\u2019s worse? <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Many believe that only overall body weight (BMI) matters, but research<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> shows that where you store fat matters much more.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A High BMI means being overweight or obese overall, but it doesn\u2019t always mean higher breast cancer risk.<\/li>\n<li>A High waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) due to excess belly fat is a major red flag, even if you are otherwise thin. Women with a WHR equal to or more than 0.95 face up to 330% higher breast cancer risk, regardless of their BMI.\n<ul>\n<li>For example, if your waist is 32 inches and your hip circumference is 33 inches, your waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is 32\/33 = 0.97.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>This risk applies before and after your menopause. In fact, premenopausal Indian women with high WHR are at higher risk.<\/li>\n<li>If your BMI &amp; WHR are both high, your breast cancer risk is even higher.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hence, it\u2019s crucial for you to take action now.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Why are Indian women at higher risk? The \u2018Thin-Fat\u2019 problem<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>South Asians, including Indian women, often appear slim but store more fat around the belly. This \u2018thin-fat\u2019 body type<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> makes them metabolically prone to many diseases, including breast cancer, even if their BMI or weight is normal. That means you could be at higher risk without realising it!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The best defense? Lifestyle changes &amp; routine mammograms<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Lifestyle changes that cut your breast cancer risk<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exercise: Just 30 minutes of brisk walking daily can lower your risk.<\/li>\n<li>Diet: Reduce sugar and processed foods and increase fibre from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.<\/li>\n<li>Maintain a Healthy Waistline: Keep your WHR below 0.85 to stay in the safe zone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>2. Routine annual mammograms: A lifesaving habit. <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No one can prevent breast cancer, but breast cancer caught early (stage 1) is 99% curable.<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\"><sup>[3]<\/sup><\/a> On the contrary, late detection drastically reduces survival chances. So, don\u2019t wait for symptoms\u2014get screened annually!<\/li>\n<li>While the self-exams are popular, they\u2019re not enough to keep you safe. Relying solely on self-exams could mean missing the early, treatable signs of breast cancer.<\/li>\n<li>Mammography, mainly 3D mammography, is the most reliable way to detect breast cancer early \u2013 before it can be felt with hands. Unlike conventional 2D mammograms, which take flat images of your breast tissue, 3D mammography takes multiple pictures from different angles, providing a more detailed view. This enables radiologists to identify subtle, early changes that a self-exam or 2D mammogram may miss.<\/li>\n<li>3D mammography is far superior to 2D scans, especially in women with dense breasts (common among Indians).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Why 3D mammography is a game changer<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how the latest 3D mammography outshines the earlier versions to keep you safer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Enhanced clarity:<\/strong> It provides detailed, three-dimensional images, making it easier to detect small tumors by using innovative technology designed to produce clear images of the breast tissue, layer by layer.<a href=\"#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\"><sup><sup>[4]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduced recalls:<\/strong> 3D mammography exams help considerably reduce recall rates for additional tests.<a href=\"#_ftn5\" name=\"_ftnref5\"><sup><sup>[5]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Better detection:<\/strong> 3D mammography exams enable the detection of more cancer cells<a href=\"#_ftn6\" name=\"_ftnref6\"><sup><sup>[6]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a>, and 20\u201365% more invasive breast cancers than 2D alone, with an average increase of 41%.<a href=\"#_ftn7\" name=\"_ftnref7\"><sup>[7]<\/sup><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Helps high-risk women more: <\/strong>3D mammography is beneficial in high-risk women, i.e., including those with:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Changes or lumps in the breasts<\/li>\n<li>A family history of breast or ovarian cancer<a href=\"#_ftn8\" name=\"_ftnref8\"><sup><sup>[8]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Dense breast tissue (nearly half of all women above the age of 40 have dense breasts)<a href=\"#_ftn9\" name=\"_ftnref9\"><sup><sup>[9]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a><\/li>\n<li>A previous diagnosis of breast disease<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This means two simple things: Earlier detection than ever before and less anxiety about unnecessary further testing.<a href=\"#_ftn10\" name=\"_ftnref10\"><sup><sup>[10]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Routine mammograms often yield reassuring news that \u2018all is well.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Busting myths about breast cancer screening<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Despite overwhelming evidence of the benefits of mammograms, many popular myths may discourage you from undergoing routine screening.

Here are some general tips for your action:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Never miss your healthy diet, daily exercise, and annual mammogram:<\/strong> Both your healthy lifestyle and yearly mammograms are vital. Mammograms can detect breast cancer early when it is most treatable. <a href=\"https:\/\/pinkpromise.org\/india\/why-mammography-is-preferred-over-other-breast-screening-modalities\/\">Don&#8217;t rely on breast self-exams or other modalities.<\/a> Make it a priority to schedule your yearly screening even if you feel perfectly healthy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Select the right mammography center:<\/strong> You may have several options available to you for getting a mammogram, such as a diagnostic lab, a hospital, or a dedicated breast clinic. How do you choose one among all the available options? <a href=\"https:\/\/pinkpromise.org\/india\/how-to-select-a-mammography-centre-in-3-easy-steps\/\">Here are three easy steps to help you choose the right mammography center.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Overcome your mammography anxiety if you have any:<\/strong> If you feel anxious before a mammography session, you are not alone. Your stress could be due to either it being your first mammogram, your fear of discovering cancer, myths harboured in your mind, or your past uncomfortable experience. Whatever your reason, it\u2019s important to remember that mammograms save lives, and <a href=\"https:\/\/pinkpromise.org\/india\/overcoming-mammography-anxiety-7-tips-to-help-you-relax\/\">here are seven tips to help you relax before your next mammogram.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Stay informed.
