About the product
Dr. Rajas B Patel, is a leading Breast Cancer Doctor in Mumbai. In India, where breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and the age for the onset of breast cancer is a decade younger than other countries. Roughly 80 percent of all breast cancers are described as ER-positive, which means that they grow in response to the hormone called oestrogen. About 65 percent of breast cancers are PR-positive, growing in response to another hormone named progesterone. If the cancerous mass has a significant number of receptors for either oestrogen or progesterone, it is considered hormone-receptor positive. On the other hand, approximately 20 percent of breast cancers are marked by the presence of HER2 receptors on cancer cells. These cancers are often aggressive and fast-growing. Women diagnosed with breast cancer are commonly tested for ER, PR and HER2 receptors, in order to accurately diagnose and treat their ailments.
