She said women and particularly young girls must immediately consult their family doctors in case of any lump or change in the shape of their breast. She said generally young girls avoid talking about any change which might lead to further complications or imputation of breast. She proposed that women must take antioxidants coupled with brisk walk and try to control their weight. She said that due to our social values, the disease moved into the advanced stage while in early stage the lump surgery was also possible. Former Member Punjab Assembly Dr Najma Afzal congratulated the hospital administration and said that annually 40,000 women die of the disease.
