The Breast Cancer Information Association is preparing with three very strong campaigns in October for the month of the fight against breast cancer

In Hungary, 8,500 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year and about 2,500 women die due to late detection. With regular mammography screening, the disease can be cured at an extremely good rate in the early stages, yet few, 40-50 percent of women undergo screening only, compared to around 80 percent in the Nordic countries.
