Data from the Indonesian Association of Oncological Surgeons (PERABOI) found that out of 10,000 cases of breast cancer, about 70 percent were stage 3 and 4.
SERAMBINEWS.COM – Of the 260 million population of Indonesia, there are around 65,800 cases of breast cancer.
Therefore, advanced breast cancer is still a global health problem that requires attention.
Referring to Globocan data, in 2020 there were 44.2 per 100,000 new cases per year.
Data from the Indonesian Association of Oncological Surgeons (PERABOI) found that out of 10,000 cases of breast cancer, about 70 percent were stage 3 and 4.
To suppress the incidence of advanced breast cancer, a national policy is needed from prevention, early detection, to good and sustainable management.
However, not all countries, especially in poor and developing countries, have all of these policies.
One of them is a form of cooperation between countries in the field of breast cancer, namely the Southeast Asia Breast Cancer Symposium (SEABCS) forum.
This year, the 5th SEABCS will be held in Indonesia, where Yayasan Breast cancer Indonesia (YKPI) was appointed as the organizer.
SEABCS is a global forum for gathering medical professionals in the field of breast cancer, breast cancer communities, patients, survivors, midwives, health professionals, and government representatives.
