Understanding the Challenge
Breast cancer is the world’s most prevalent cancer
2.3 million women were diagnosed in 2020
7.8 million women have survived breast cancer in the last 5 years
By 2040, the WHO’s aim is to reduce breast cancer by 2.5%
Fostering Hope For Breast Cancer
Conquering Breast Cancer highlights the global effort to prevent, detect and treat breast cancer. It’s an ambitious aim to reduce the prevalence of breast cancer for women worldwide. We don’t yet have a vaccine like the HPV vaccine which prevents cervical cancer. But we know that early detection is the key to positive outcomes. And in countries like Australia and the USA there is now a 90% 5-year survival rate.
Alarmingly though, the burden of breast cancer is projected to exceed 3 million new cases and 1 million deaths annually by 2040. In low and middle-income countries, 50% - 80% of cases are diagnosed at an advanced, often incurable stage. Public education, early diagnosis and effective treatments are the key to reducing these rates.
Why It Matters
Women play vital roles in every facet of society. Breast cancer's indiscriminate nature underscores the necessity of universal access to prevention, screening, and treatment. Our film helps bring awareness to breast cancer and advocates for early detection and better access to treatment.
