Some of these have been designed by Ritu Beri, Manish Malhotra, Hemant Trivedi and Rocky S. Some other costumes that may go under the hammer are those worn by Amitabh Bachchan, Karishma and Kareena Kapoor, Urmila Matondkar and other well-known stars.

Dr Rakesh Chopra, Senior Consultant Oncologist at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, has been invited to Seattle, Washington, to present a paper on breast cancer treatment - the Indian and Asian scenario at the world consensus conference on breast cancer. The conference (October 2 to October 6) is being organised by the University of Washington. Oncologists from Australia, Europe, South Africa and the host country are also participating in the conference. The main objective of the conference is to evolve guidelines on three aspects of breast cancer, namely screening, diagnosis and treatment. Chairman of the anti-Cancer Trust and Vice-President of Indian Society of Medical and Paediatric Oncology, Dr Chopra was invited to Orlando, Florida, US, to the World Oncology leaders meeting in May by the American Society of Clinical Oncology. According to Dr Chopra, about 75,000 fresh cases of breast cancer are diagnosed every year, according to the Indian Council of Medical Research Registry. “In India, younger urban women in the 30 to 55 age group are more vulnerable to breast cancer. Most cases are diagnosed late. Besides hereditary factors, increased fat intake, mulliparity (unmarried women), nuns, women, who do not breast feed run the risk of getting breast cancer. The symptoms could be bloody discharge from the nipple, a painless lump or change of shape of breasts. Self-breast examination is the cheapest and best way of detecting such symptoms. Women must examine their breasts seven days after the periods,’’ he said.
