Epidemiological data on breast cancer are worrying - in 2019 it accounted for as much as 23% of all new cancer cases. The demographic curve of incidence is shifting towards younger and younger patients, which has serious socio-economic consequences. Thanks to recent reimbursement successes and improved coordination of oncological care in Poland, the situation of breast cancer patients is significantly improving. However, it should be borne in mind that in the case of breast cancer, we are dealing with treatment targeted at specific cancer subtypes and it is necessary to ensure access to innovative therapies for the entire spectrum of cancer subtypes. Among other things, you can hear about this in an interview with Krystyna Wechmann, President of PKPO and an expert in the health care system, Dr. Jakub Gierczyński. To be viewed at Medexpress.pl
