BIG against breast cancer |

slide text:

The Breast International Group is a global organisation, but with roots and headquarters firmly established in Europe. With the Russian / Ukrainian conflict at our doorstep, we wish to express our strong condemnation of war, and the senseless death, misery and destruction that it causes. This holds true regardless of where military conflict occurs in the world, and our hearts and thoughts go to all of its victims, wherever they may be.

Moreover, as an organisation dedicated to cancer research, we are sensitive to the suffering experienced by all the people touched by this disease and who, as a result of this brutal war in Europe, can no longer access treatment for their cancer, further putting their lives at risk.

It is with tremendous sadness that we write this in 2022, at a time when history has shown us so many times that wars do not resolve disagreements, but only deepen hatreds and intensify human suffering.
