We need to reduce mortality from breast cancer

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women in Brazil and worldwide, after non-melanoma skin cancer. According to INCA estimates, 73,920 new cases of the disease are expected each year by 2025 in Brazil. That's why Américas Amigas continues to fight to bring more and more screenings to more and more people across the country.
