♟️📣 This past Saturday, Europa Donna held its annual Advocacy Leader Conference in Milan. ➡️ We were honoured to host over 70 experienced advocates from 35 countries. The event opened with a recorded message from Stella Kyriakides, European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, stressing the critical importance of continued breast cancer advocacy at the European level. The conference provided specialized training for breast cancer advocates, with exceptional speakers sharing the latest insights and advancements. 🔬 Thomas Hofmarcher and Silvia Deandrea discussed three decades of progress in public health and cancer epidemiology, highlighting improved survival rates, enhanced personalized treatments, and ongoing challenges such as health inequalities. 🩺 Clinical oncology expert Gabe Sonke shared the latest innovations in early-stage breast cancer treatment, emphasizing how advancements are improving cure rates with better efficacy and reduced toxicity. 🌟 Fatima Cardoso, Director of the Breast Unit and President of ABC Global Alliance, presented 30 years of findings on early and metastatic breast cancer, emphasizing the importance of patients understanding their cancer type and advocating for research on biomarkers. 🤖 Michail Ignatiadis and Isabel T. Rubio explored how AI is transforming cancer research, prevention, and treatment, focusing on reducing pathology errors, discovering biomarkers, and the need for rigorous testing and standardization in healthcare AI. 📢 Ines Vaz-Luis emphasized the importance of patient engagement in research, advocating for studies done "with/by patients" rather than "for/about patients." ✨ A powerful video by Lesley Fallowfield DBE offered guidance for families and friends of advanced breast cancer patients. 🫂 The day concluded with a workshop led by Tamás Bereczky PhD to explore the distance barriers and inequalities in breast cancer treatment. We are grateful to all our speakers, advocates, and participants who made this event a success. Together, we continue to push the boundaries of breast cancer advocacy, research, and patient support! 👏- + 5

In honour of European #FertilityWeek, we’re resharing our White Paper on Cancer and Family Planning 📖 🌸 Young women diagnosed with breast cancer in Europe face many challenges, even more when it comes to starting a family. Some examples: ➡️ Fear of the impact of cancer treatment on fertility 📣 Little awareness and limited access to fertility preservation options 🫂 Emotional and psychological stress 🩷 Sexual discomfort There is need for stronger support from healthcare professionals specialised in onco-fertility ✊ ✨ Our White Paper seeks to improve quality of life for individuals living with or after breast cancer by ensuring they have the resources, information, and support to make informed decisions about family planning. 🙏 We’re calling on EU Member States, healthcare institutions, and policymakers to step up and address these critical issues in cancer care.
