1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer during their lifetime

The European Commission joined the international breast cancer awareness campaign this month, "painting the world pink" and highlighting the importance of prevention and early diagnosis.

According to statistics, 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer during her lifetime. Behind every pink ribbon lies a story of courage, strength, and loss.

With the #EUCancerPlan, the Commission aims to ensure that 90% of people who need it, including breast, cervical and colon screenings, receive the necessary service. Authorities stress that prevention and early detection can save lives.
