World Breast Cancer Day
Today, October 19th, on World Breast Cancer Day, GP Pharm, as a pharmaceutical company committed to women's health, joins the effort to raise awareness about the early detection of breast cancer.
- Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that originates in the tissue of the mammary gland. Malignant tumors are characterized by uncontrolled growth and the ability to spread to other tissues.
- In Spain, around 35,312 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in 2023. This type of cancer is the most common and the leading cause of death among the female population in the country.
- Early detection is crucial to improving the prognosis and survival of breast cancer. It is very important to participate in population screenings, which in Spain are conducted for women over 50 years old through mammograms.
