Hello
Thanks for your health query on this platform.
Unfortunately, the FNAC report is indicative of carcinoma of the breast.
Alongwith the FNAC report, the clinical examination by a onco gynecologist, as well as imaging ( sonography and mammography ) is done to decide how advanced the tumour is. Also, in a complete blood work up, chest X XXXXXXX bone scan, and ultrasound of the pelvis and abdomen is done to evaluate how much the tumour has advanced. Based on this triple assessment ( clinical, radiological and the FNAC ), the surgeon would choose the further treatment.
Surgery is considered primary treatment for breast cancer, as many patients with early-stage disease are cured with surgery alone. The goals of breast cancer surgery include complete removal of the primary tumor , and pathologic staging of the tumor which is done on histopathology, and analysis of the axillary lymph nodes for providing necessary prognostic information. Several different types of operations are available for the treatment of breast cancer.
Depending on the type of tumour and the patient profile, further radiation/ chemotherapy maybe required.
The chances of survival and the further prognosis also depends on the tumour type. Diagnosis by FNAC is just the first step , and you should immediately consult a reputed Onco Gynecologist / Onco Surgeon for further treatment.
Meanwhile, please have a healthy lifestyle, and do not panic , as breast cancer has excellent survival chances.
Please take care, wish you luck, and feel free to ask for further clarifications.

As I mentioned,
Tumour staging is done on the basis of report of biopsy ( histopathology ) after surgery.
I told you that the type of tumour, and its grade, is decided by Triple method
1. Clinical examination
2. imaging - mammography
3. FNac
All these three together only can tell you how advanced the tumour is.
Few hospitals I can suggest in Bangalore :
1. Mazumdar-Shaw Cancer Centre (MSCC)
2. Bangalore Institute of Oncology
3. Manipal Hospital
take care.

Hi again,
St. Johns is also a reputed institute, however I had suggested exclusive oncological ( cancer related ) institutes to you.
If all the 3 are done, your doctor should definitely give an idea about the severity of the tumour.
