October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month πŸŽ—οΈ

In 2022, breast cancer accounted for almost 17% of all cancer-related deaths in women in the EU. Screening in the 50–69 age group can reduce deaths by up to 34%.

Our colleague *Agnes Mannik* worked on the European Commission’s initiative on breast cancer, which sets quality requirements and guidelines for breast cancer care, covering screening, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.

Her team also develops evidence-based cancer screening guidelines for colorectal, cervical, lung, prostate and gastric cancer.
