Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2024 Home
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer type among women worldwide and the most common cause of cancer death in women. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is pursuing a multi-pronged approach to reduce the number of new cases of breast cancer and to save the lives of women who develop breast cancer. With IARC’s international partners and the World Health Organization (WHO), IARC scientists are working to uncover the causes of breast cancer, to understand how breast cancer progresses after it has developed, to introduce and improve breast cancer screening programmes tailored to local health systems, and to accurately record the burden of breast cancer worldwide.
