2024/10/19
October 19 is World Breast Cancer Day , a key day to raise awareness about the importance of early detection and support for those affected. Breast cancer is the most common tumor among women worldwide, and millions of new cases are diagnosed each year.
On this day, health organizations and professionals remind us that self-examination and regular check-ups are essential to detect the disease in its early stages, when the chances of successful treatment are greater.
Furthermore, the event is an opportunity to highlight the importance of psychological and emotional support for people who are facing this disease, as well as the relevance of scientific research to improve treatments.
Various cities around the world organize awareness-raising activities, such as conferences, charity runs and educational events, in order to strengthen prevention and support in the fight against breast cancer.
This day invites us to reflect on the need for a joint effort, both from health institutions and from society, to combat this type of cancer and promote the importance of regular check-ups, which save lives.
To those facing breast cancer today, we send a message of strength. You are a symbol of courage, and your fight inspires thousands. To the survivors, we remind you that you are an example of resilience. Emotional, family and community support is essential in this battle. And to those who sadly could not overcome it, we honor your memory. Your bravery continues to be a source of inspiration for all of us.
