The breast cancer awarness month is an annual campaign dedicated to raising awareness about early breast cancer screening, funding scientific research, and advancing patient care through fundraising.
In partnership with Institut Curie, Galeries Lafayette is launching a series of initiatives to support the fight against breast cancer.
Raising awareness for early detection
Dr. Florence Coussy reflects on the partnership launched last year with Galeries Lafayette in this interview excerpt.
“The project we support focuses on comprehensively improving care for young women with breast cancer. Young patients have distinct needs requiring not only optimal medical treatment, but also tailored, age-appropriate guidance spanning parenthood, fertility, professional life, and beyond.”
“I encourage you to get screened and spread the word! For breast cancer, that means a mammogram every two years for women aged 50 to 74.”
“Take care of yourself: cancer screening saves lives.”
