The evolution of breast cancer treatment: past, present and future
Each scientific speaker addressed the treatment of breast cancer either with a lens towards the past, present or future. The underlying message of the event was indeed how far we have come with the progression of breast cancer treatments. Women faced with the disease now have a better chance of survival and receive more personalised treatments which are less toxic, more targeted and less invasive. Future treatment options were discussed such as the possibility of immunotherapy meaning the immune system could be activated to destroy breast cancer cells.

Between 2012 and 2018, BIG has invested over 97,000,000 €
in breast cancer research,
making a huge difference in the lives of patients.
Several of BIG's studies are purely academic and non-commercial, meaning funding is often limited but the outcomes of these studies hold great promise for patients.
