Mumbai hospital review finds 82.5% of breast cases were cancerous

A review of 578 patients with breast concerns at the Head & Neck Cancer Institute of India in Mumbai over three years found 82.5% had cancer, confirmed by tissue tests. Patients ranged from 23 to 98 years, averaging 52.7. Doctors caution the figures reflect only that hospital's patients and that a lump is not always cancer, but needs evaluation.
