Abstract

Breast cancer has become the most prevalent cancer among all types of cancer in India, and it poses a serious health concern among women. Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) and advanced breast cancer collectively represent over 70 percent of all cases of breast cancer. In this case report, we presented a 52-year-old female with no significant medical history apart from type II diabetes mellitus who suddenly discovered a lump in her left breast. Initially, the lump was 2 x 1 cm and had progressed to 4 x 3 cm in the left breast. Therefore, she was started with paclitaxel neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Following this, she had undergone left-modified radical mastectomy surgery and was recovering well.
