October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and October 25th marks World Breast Cancer Day.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide1. More specifically, 2.3 million new cases diagnosed in 2020 worldwide, accounting for 24.5% of all incident cancers in women1.
In Greece, breast cancer was estimated to be the 3rd most commonly diagnosed cancer site, with 7,772 new cases annually based on GLOBOCAN 2020 data2. Early detection and treatment are the key to the fight against breast cancer.
