Donate Breast International Group Raise funds
slide text: 

The Breast International Group is a global organisation, but with roots and headquarters firmly established in Europe. With the Russian / Ukrainian conflict at our doorstep, we wish to express our strong condemnation of war, and the senseless death, misery and destruction that it causes. This holds true regardless of where military conflict occurs in the world, and our hearts and thoughts go to all of its victims, wherever they may be.

 

Moreover, as an organisation dedicated to cancer research, we are sensitive to the suffering experienced by all the people touched by this disease and who, as a result of this brutal war in Europe, can no longer access treatment for their cancer, further putting their lives at risk.

 

It is with tremendous sadness that we write this in 2022, at a time when history has shown us so many times that wars do not resolve disagreements, but only deepen hatreds and intensify human suffering.

A message from Breast International Group's Honorary President

Finding a cure is one of the biggest challenges faced by researchers from around the world. Breast cancer affects women and men of all ages. This is why prevention is crucial. When breast cancer is diagnosed, the impact on a patient’s life and loved ones is devastating and causes intense stress. Appropriate psychological and moral support is needed and can really make a big difference.

It is crucial to identify the most appropriate and personalised therapies to increase the chances of recovery and cure. BIG fosters collaboration among the world's leading experts in breast cancer and advances research. This is essential to give hope to everyone concerned.  - HRM the Queen of the Belgians, Honorary President of Breast International Group

A message from BIG against breast cancer's President

There are many areas of research that hold great promise for patients but have no particular interest for commercial partners.

That is why BIG develops and runs academic studies that hold tremendous potential for patients and promise long-term gains for society, in all regions of the world. Thanks to our global network of breast cancer experts, we can run these trials more efficiently.

- Martine Piccart, Co-founder and President of BIG against breast cancer
