We’re excited to announce that the Breast Cancer Network /le Réseau Cancer du Sein will once again be our charity partner.
Breast cancer touches 1 woman in 8. In the Canton of Geneva alone, each year over 450 women receive a diagnosis of breast cancer. Around 8’000 women confronted to breast cancer live in our canton. Together with their family and loved ones, they represent more than 15% of the population. Thanks to therapeutic progress, survival rate is high, but the adverse effects of treatments continue to affect women concerned for many years. Moreover, breast cancer is a life changing disease. It can have a significant impact on different areas of private, social and professional life. The Breast Cancer Network and the Association Savoir Patient - a non-profit public interest NGO - federate patients, researchers and the medical community to implement programs and services for a better care and quality of life.
