He mentioned Tata Memorial Center in Mumbai which has earned a name for itself in Research, Innovation and Cancer care. Intensive research done by this center has revealed that yoga is very effective for breast cancer patients. Tata Memorial Center has presented the results of its research in the very prestigious Breast cancer conference held in the US.

Prime Minister said that these results have attracted the attention of the world’s biggest experts.According to the research of this center, regular practice of yoga has reduced the risk of recurrence and death of breast cancer patients by 15 percent.

Mr Modi highlighted that this is the first example of Indian traditional medicine being tested vis a vis the stringent standards of Western methods. Also, this is the first study, in which yoga has been found to improve the quality of life in women affected by breast cancer. The Tata Memorial Center has presented the results of its study at the European Society of Medical Oncology conference in Paris.
