Since the 1980s, there has been a 40% reduction in #BreastCancer mortality in high-income countries. This has yet to be achieved in the majority of low- and middle-income countries. @uicc @who #GBCI 

Every 50 seconds, somewhere in the world a woman dies from #BreastCancer. Improvements must be made in access to early detection, treatment, palliative and survivorship care, and comprehensive data collection. @uicc @who #GBCI

#BreastCancerdeaths disproportionately affect individuals in low- and middle-income countries. In high-income countries, the five-year survival rates exceed 90%, while they remain at 66% in India and 40% in South Africa. @uicc @who #GBCI  

To reduce #BreastCancer mortality, national cancer control plans must be based on 3 pillars:  

• health promotion and early detection 
• timely diagnosis, and 
• comprehensive breast cancer management.
