Breast cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide and the leading cause of cancer deaths among women. The goal: reduce breast cancer mortality by 2.5% per year.

How? 

• Diagnose breast cancer at an early stage 
• Deliver a diagnosis in 60 days 
• Enable patients to access multimodal treatment 

Over a 20-year period this could save 2.5 million lives. #GBCI @uicc
