Early detection program for breast cancer in the Basque Country

Breast cancer is a major health problem, affecting one in 10 women in their lifetime. The frequency of occurrence of this type of tumor increases with age. We cannot prevent it from appearing, but we can detect it when it is small in size, and cure is achieved in more than 80% of cases. Mammography is the best early detection test currently available. With it we can detect 90-95% of tumors, even if they are very small.
