Hyderabad : Opal Suchata Chuangsri, the newly crowned Miss World 2025, underwent surgery at age 16 to remove a benign breast lump, sparking widespread attention and misinformation, according to Dr. P Raghu Ram of the Ushalakshmi Breast Cancer Foundation in Hyderabad. The lump, discovered years ago, was non-cancerous and successfully removed, with no evidence of breast cancer, contrary to some erroneous media reports.
Opal, 24, made history as the first Thai woman to win the Miss World title on May 31, 2025, in Hyderabad, India, triumphing over 107 contestants. Her personal health journey inspired her “Opal For Her” campaign, a “Beauty with a Purpose” initiative aimed at raising breast health awareness and promoting early detection. The campaign resonated deeply with judges and audiences, contributing to her victory.
Dr. Ram clarified, “Opal’s case highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and awareness. Her lump was benign, and she’s healthy.” Opal has since used her platform to educate women, emphasizing regular check-ups and dispelling myths about breast health.
The Miss World Organization praised Opal’s resilience and advocacy, noting her win reflects both grace and purpose. Fans worldwide continue to celebrate her historic achievement and inspiring mission.
