Participants in an Economic Forum discussion devoted to the prevention and treatment of cancer – both practitioners and representatives of the Ministry of Health – debated how to fight breast cancer in a systemic way and, above all, how to build a preventive system in the fight against cancer and how to build awareness about the importance of this research. 

At the beginning, participants and listeners to the debate learned statistics about the implementation of the mammography programme. – “The national average in Poland is 36%. This compares with Denmark at 83%, Sweden at 80%, Slovenia at over 77%, and the Czech Republic at over 58%. Breast cancer is the second cause of death from oncological diseases after lung cancer”, said Marcin Piasecki of “Rzeczpospolita” daily, who opened the debate.
