Breast Cancer Grand Round with Dr Wanda Cui
Breast Cancer Prevention: An Overview
20 March 2024
One in eight Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Join Dr Wanda Cui as she discusses prevention as potentially the most cost-effective strategy for cancer control to reduce the social impact of breast cancer.
Breast cancer incidence has steadily increased in the past decades internationally. Now, one in eight Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Although survival has improved dramatically, breast cancer remains the number one cause of cancer disease burden around the world. Prevention potentially offers the most cost-effective strategy for cancer control, and would reduce the social impact of breast cancer.
