18th Reach to Recovery International Breast Cancer Support Conference

It is the great pleasure of the Organizing Committee to welcome all of you to the 18th Reach to Recovery International Breast Cancer Support Conference! The theme of the conference is Together we are stronger, and our hosts in Beijing have designed a comprehensive program that will show that by sharing our knowledge about breast cancer, connecting with others involved in breast cancer care and support, and promoting our cause in our home countries, we can make a difference in the global fight against breast cancer!

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women throughout the world, whether in high-income countries or the developing world. The most recent statistics gathered by the World Health Organization estimate that more than 1.7 million people develop breast cancer each year, and the incidence rate is on the rise. The increase is attributed to greater life expectancies, urbanization, and the adoption of western lifestyles.
