October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, worldwide. Geetha Manjunath joins host Pavan Srinath to share how breast cancer is an easily treatable illness in 2020 if caught early.

Over 80,000 women in India still die annually from breast cancer, largely from late detection of cancer. Geetha discusses why breast cancer is so frequent, what factors can lead to a higher risk of cancer, how it can be detected early through regular screening, and how it can be managed.

Dr Geetha Manjunath is the Founder, CEO, and CTO of NIRAMAI Health Analytix. With a background in computer science, data analytics, and machine learning, she has been working for the past 6 years in healthcare and diagnostics. Niramai has innovated on a novel, safe method for detecting early-stage breast cancer which avoids the use of X-rays as used in mammograms.
