Understanding Breast Lumps & Cancer in the Indian Context
Breast cancer is now the leading cancer among Indian women, with rising incidence in urban Telangana. Early detection dramatically improves survival, yet many women delay screening due to stigma or time constraints. Ajuda Hospitals bridges this gap with a same-day breast clinic offering imaging, biopsy, counselling, and multidisciplinary planning under one roof.
We serve diverse communities—from professionals in HITEC City to homemakers in Kukatpally—providing support in Telugu, Hindi, Urdu, and English. Our navigators guide families through every step, ensuring both medical excellence and emotional care.
When to Consult Our Breast Clinic
⚠️ Seek Immediate Evaluation If You Notice:
- ✓ New lump or thickening in the breast or underarm
- ✓ Nipple bleeding, persistent discharge, or inversion
- ✓ Skin changes like dimpling, redness, or peau d'orange
- ✓ Rapid increase in lump size or pain unresponsive to medication
Annual screening from age 40 (or earlier with family history) helps detect issues before symptoms. Ajuda offers early morning and weekend slots to accommodate busy schedules.
Our Diagnostic Approach
Triple Assessment Protocol
Clinical exam, imaging, and biopsy performed the same day ensure no delay between suspicion and diagnosis.
Advanced Imaging
Digital mammography with tomosynthesis, breast ultrasound, and MRI provide detailed mapping, especially in dense breasts or high-risk cases.
Precision Pathology
Core needle biopsy with immunohistochemistry and receptor analysis guides personalised treatment. Genetic testing (BRCA, multigene panels) is available when indicated.
Tumour Board Consensus
Surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and counsellors review every case, ensuring a unified plan that balances cure with quality of life.
Treatment Pathways
Ajuda integrates oncological safety with aesthetic outcomes:
- Benign Lump Care: Minimally invasive excision or surveillance with ultrasound follow-up.
- Early-Stage Cancer: Breast-conserving surgery plus sentinel node biopsy, followed by radiotherapy.
- Locally Advanced Disease: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy or targeted therapy to shrink tumours before surgery.
- Mastectomy Options: Skin- or nipple-sparing techniques with immediate reconstruction (implants or flaps).
- Reconstruction & Symmetry: Oncoplastic reshaping, contralateral adjustments, and 3D areola tattooing enhance body image.
- Survivorship Program: Rehab, nutrition, psychological support, and long-term surveillance with digital reminders.
What to Expect: Your Care Journey
- Breast Clinic Day: Registration, imaging, and biopsy in one visit, with same-day preliminary discussion.
- Tumour Board Review: Within 24 hours, doctors finalise the treatment plan and schedule next steps.
- Surgery & Therapy: Coordinated scheduling for surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or reconstruction.
- Recovery & Support: Physiotherapy for arm mobility, lymphedema prevention, and counselling for emotional resilience.
- Long-Term Follow-up: Annual mammograms, regular check-ups, and telemedicine support for patients across Telangana.
Technology & Innovation
Ajuda's breast clinic utilises 3D tomosynthesis, contrast-enhanced MRI, radio-frequency identifier tags for non-palpable lumps, and intraoperative margin assessment devices. These technologies reduce reoperations and maintain superior cosmetic results compared with conventional setups.
Preventing Complications
Early detection, precise surgery, and tailored therapy prevent metastasis, lymphedema, and recurrence. Prehabilitation optimises nutrition and fitness before treatment; survivorship programs monitor bone health, cardiac function, and mental wellness after therapy.
