  "summary": "A recent analysis of breast surgery records at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai reveals that 41% of patients were below 50 years old in 2025, with 14% under the age of 40. The average age of these patients was 52.8 years, with the trend of younger women being affected by breast cancer remaining consistent over the past three years. Experts urge younger women to be vigilant about unusual breast changes and seek prompt medical evaluation, emphasizing that breast-conserving treatment options are available. Dr. Mandar Nadkarni, Director of Breast Oncology at the hospital, stresses the need for increased awareness among women across all age groups, as early detection can lead to better treatment outcomes.",
