The first female cancer
Since the 1990s, the month of October has become the month of mutual aid and the fight against breast cancer, and more broadly against female cancers, such as that of the cervix or ovaries. Indeed, breast cancer ranks first among the most common cancers and the most fatal in women. In 2023, 61,214 new cases were recorded in mainland France. It also represents nearly 8% of all cancer deathsall sexes combined, which can also affect 1% of men.
Breast cancer prevention and screening therefore become essential to diagnose these cancers at an early stage and thus reduce the risks. Detected early, breast cancer is cured in 90% of cases!
A breast cancer screening program is organized for women aged 50 to 74. They are invited to participate every 2 years, with 100% coverage of this examination (mammography and clinical breast examination) by Health Insurance.
