Breast cancer affects 58,000 women every year, and it is estimated that one in eight women will develop cancer in her lifetime. Even if today it is still the cancer that kills the most women, research has advanced considerably and cure rates keep increasing.
How is the diagnosis of breast cancer made? Which age group is most affected? What treatments exist today? What are the risks of recurrence?
Pink October, which highlights the fight against breast cancer, is an opportunity for Bonjour Docteur to talk about it. Geraldine Mayr and the Dr Jimmy Mohamed receive the Professor Fabien Reyal, head of breast surgery and reconstructive surgery at Institut Curie. He explains in detail how breast cancer develops, and the advances in medical research that make it possible to cure this cancer better and better.
