BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH-OCTOBER 2026

"EVERY STORY IS UNIQUE,EVERY JOUNNEY MATTERS"

The theme “Every story is unique, every journey matters” recognizes that every experience of breast cancer is different. Behind every diagnosis is a person, a family and a unique journey.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women.

Breast cancer occurs in every country and can affect women at any age after puberty, with incidence increasing later in life. Around 80% of breast cancers occur in women with no specific risk factors other than sex and age. 

We must act to detect breast cancer earlier, provide timely diagnosis and ensure access to quality treatment and care. Everyone, wherever they live, should have access to the care they need.

Maybe, with this video you can solve some doubts about this special day. Although it is from the previous campaign, it stands out for the clarity with which it informs and educates students in Years 1 and 2 of ESO.
