100 years of fighting cancer
Today, after 100 years of fighting, the action of the League Against Cancer is still necessary. And is built around 2 axes: prevention and the fight against inequalities. The difficulty, in the 1 st case, is that, too often still, the prevention and the information intervene after the care. While, the earlier cancers are detected, the better they can be cared for and therefore more likely to be cared for, especially in the case of breast cancer . The other battle horse of the League is about inequalities. Because, faced with the disease, we do not all have the same weapons to fight. Consequence: we do not have the same chances to overcome it. Around these 2 fights to overcome the evil, the association multiplies the actions to inform.
