Health: Breast cancer kills 2,000 Peruvian women a year (Videos)

This month identifies the fight against breast cancerworldwide. In Peru, eight thousand new cases are added every year and every day, six valuable lives are lost due to this disease. With the aim of raising awareness and promoting access to more timely diagnoses, the League Against Cancer (LCC) will promote an innovative campaign that facilitates access to timely care to rule out this pathology and encourages prevention through valuable information.

The Pink Reserve
In the framework of the commemoration of the world month of the fight against breast cancer (October 19, central day), the League Against Cancer (LCC) launches the campaign “La Reserva Rosa”, which seeks to encourage women to prioritize their health and promote breast examinations as an essential act of self-care and prevention. Just as we can make a reservation to eat a delicious meal, we can also make a medical appointment to rule out breast cancer and be sure of being healthy.

To do so, all those interested can contact WhatsApp 988 562 238 or visit the website to book their appointments. A reservation for a mother, a partner, a friend or for oneself can become an opportunity for health and life. Early detection saves lives and every woman who undergoes a regular mammogram is contributing to reducing the high incidence of this disease.

As part of the health initiative, the League Against Cancer (LCC) offers a complete gynecological screening that includes a clinical examination of the breasts, thyroid and lymph nodes, as well as a pap smear and IVAA (visual inspection with acetic acid) for a charitable contribution of 35 soles. In addition, they will have discounts on medical consultations for mammography and in the specialty of breasts and tumors. The non-profit organization has two detection centers located in Pueblo Libre (Av. Brasil 2746) and in Cercado de Lima (Av. Nicolás de Piérola 727).

Free care for people in vulnerable situations continues in Lima and the provinces. It is essential to remember that breast cancer does not discriminate based on gender, age or socioeconomic status and we all need to be informed; the League Against Cancer (LCC) permanently holds information fairs and educational talks to raise awareness and educate about the implications of this pathology and healthy lifestyle habits that prevent people from becoming part of the statistics.

We have the power to save lives
The campaign was attended by important local figures, such as Ambassadors who will help spread the message of prevention to the population. Ely Yutronic, Pamela Acosta, Olga Zumarán, Romina Gachoy, José Chávarri, Lita Pezo, Pierangeli Dodero, Kumar Paredes, among others. To fight breast cancer, early detection is the best weapon in this battle. Reaching more people with free screening at affordable prices is possible thanks to supportive brands such as Beiersdorf, Just, Unilabs and Jabones Spa that have joined this important campaign. We also need more fraternal hearts to join in with their donations.

The charity seeks to collect hope with its donations. Whether through Yape at 955 916 736 or bank accounts (Scotiabank, BCP, BBVA, Banco de la Nación and Paypal) from one sol you can contribute to save the life of those who need it most.
