Pink October: "Breast cancer is now the most common cancer around the globe"

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Benjamin Anderson, WHO Medical Officer leading the Global Breast Cancer Initiative (GBCI), joins France 24 to share rich insight into breast cancer awareness, prevention, early diagnosis and detection, and effective treatment. Like with any disease, explains Dr. Anderson, "there are certain risk factors that we can control: weight control, exercise, avoiding excess use of alcohol, avoiding tobacco... These are all things that will help."
