Breast Cancer Now is in the news for new UK drug approvals helping thousands. Founded in 2015 from a merger, it's the UK’s largest breast cancer charity.
Recent studies highlight the critical importance of early cancer detection and screening. UK research shows missing the first breast cancer screening increases mortality risk by 40%. Australia has subsidised the breast cancer drug Truqap, drastically reducing treatment costs. Hong Kong urges monthly self-exams and expanded screening for high-risk women. Awareness and access remain global challenges as October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
