The forum offers concise and reliable information from experts for affected women and their families, as well as those women who are at higher risk, thereby making an important contribution to education on the subject."

Particularly in October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we want to raise awareness of this.

The focus is not only on information about established, novel and future treatment methods for breast, ovarian and uterine cancer, but also on prevention and screening strategies: "Breast cancer screening, PAP smear tests and HPV vaccination are valuable tools in this context, and our forum will also provide information about them," emphasises Matthias Preusser.
