The mortality-to-incidence ratio stands at 0.48, reflecting a significant number of deaths due to late diagnosis and limited access to timely treatment.

 Telangana is one of the states that has recently reported a high number of breast cancer cases.

These statistics were shared during the announcement of the ‘Pink Power Run,’ an event scheduled for 29 September.

The event slated would bring together participants in the fight against breast cancer, offering 3 km, 5 km, and 10 km marathon races.
