Pakistan has the highest rate of breast cancer in the world. It is the most frequent malignancy in women, and accounts for 38.5% of all female cancers, which is 83,000 new cases every year. About half (43.7%) of all breast cancers are locally advanced, accounting to 40,000 deaths per year. However, very little information on breast cancer is available in Pakistan. Many people believe that breast cancer is a death sentence. Late detection and follow up for treatment has resulted in the high levels of mortality resulting from breast cancer. However, with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, a patient’s chance of surviving is higher than 90%.
Therefore, creating widespread awareness is the principal goal of the Pink Ribbon Campaign in Pakistan and their mission is to become a centre of excellence for breast-care information. Friends of Pink Ribbon is the support group of the National Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign Pakistan. October being the Pink Ribbon – Breast Cancer Awareness month worldwide, Friends of Pink Ribbon are planning an extensive nationwide campaign across Pakistan. And their prime focus is to raise awareness about:
* The dangerously high level of incidence of breast cancer in Pakistan
* The disease is curable and need not be fatal
* The disease can be detected early, even by simple self-diagnosis and
* That life after cancer is worth living.
