Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Breast Cancer Awareness Month—Every October, the world unites in pink to observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month—a time focused on raising awareness, encouraging early detection, and supporting those affected by breast cancer. At Nepal Cancer Hospital, Dr. Kapendra, a renowned surgical oncologist, leads this mission with dedication, care, and hope for patients and families across Nepal.
This October, he is offering free breast cancer consultations throughout the month, with special emphasis on the importance of second opinions for anyone facing a breast cancer diagnosis. His goal is to ensure that each patient receives clarity, confidence, and compassionate guidance.
Understanding Breast Cancer: Why Awareness Matters
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. In Nepal, thousands of women are diagnosed every year—but many cases are detected late due to a lack of awareness, stigma, or limited access to medical services.
Awareness goes far beyond wearing pink—it saves lives.
- Regular breast self-examinations
- Clinical screenings
- Timely checkups
These are key to early detection, which greatly improves treatment outcomes.
This October, Nepal Cancer Hospital is encouraging all individuals—especially women over 40—to make breast health a priority. A few minutes today could lead to early diagnosis and life-saving care. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/breast-cancer
The Value of a Second Opinion in Breast Cancer
A breast cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, and decisions about treatment are often difficult. In these moments, a second opinion is not just helpful—it can be life-changing.
A second opinion offers:
- Clarity: Better understanding of the diagnosis
- Confidence: Reassurance about the recommended treatment plan
- Options: Awareness of alternative or less invasive therapies
Sometimes, what seems like a complex condition may have a simpler approach—or a better-suited treatment. For this reason, Dr. Kapendra strongly encourages patients to speak with more than one specialist before choosing treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation.
With years of experience and a patient-first approach, Dr. Kapendra and his team at Nepal Cancer Hospital provide respectful and thorough reviews of diagnoses and treatment plans, helping every individual feel informed and empowered in their journey.
