It is not unusual to see patients visiting their gynaecologists/obstetricians with a breast complaint before they are guided to a breast surgeon or specialist. While Germany is one of the very few countries where gynaecologists deal with breast diseases as well as gynaecological diseases, breast diseases are treated by surgeons in India. Breast cancer needs to be detected early to get the best of results and any suspicious lump should be brought to the notice of a breast cancer specialist at the earliest.
