Prevention and Breast Health

There are more than twice as many new breast cancer cases annually than new cases of cancer in any other site. Studies from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have shown that a third of all breast cancer cases can be prevented in Europe by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. That would mean that 192,00 of the 576,300 new cases of breast cancer each year in the WHO Europe region could be prevented.

Secondary prevention and early detection

Secondary prevention refers to techniques used to detect breast cancer even at its earliest stages. This includes imaging methods such as mammography screening as well as breast awareness. Europa Donna advocates for all European women to have access to nationwide population-based mammography screening programmes conducted in accordance with the European Guidelines on Breast Cancer Screening and Diagnosis developed by the European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer (ECIBC), which are updated regularly based on the latest scientific evidence.
