Gérard Guillemaud, president of the Jura Cancer League, constantly repeats: “We must promote not only breast cancer screening, but also colorectal and cervical cancer screening. We also need to communicate the importance of physical activity in terms of prevention and maintain mobilization.”

Cured in more than 9 out of 10 cases

A whole program to which the Pink October campaign appears for the first time in France in 1994. As the departmental president further specifies, “if in fact in the Jura the detection rates for these diseases are higher than those observed on average in our country, we are still far from the European objectives in this area.”

However, if breast cancer affects nearly 58,000 women in our country annually. Detected at an early stage, it can be cured in more than 9 out of 10 cases. Hence the importance of prevention and screening in all cases.
