Overview

• Spain’s AECC unveiled a national survivorship campaign featuring patient and family voices, citing data that about 65% fear recurrence, 57% worry about appearance, and 36% report poor quality of life.
• In 2024 Spain logged nearly 36,000 breast‑cancer cases with roughly 24% in women under 50 and around 85% five‑year survival, as AECC reiterates free psychosocial and support services for patients and families.
• Spain’s health minister Mónica García said she will request regional screening data following reports of diagnostic delays in Andalucía’s breast‑cancer program.
• Local initiatives expanded access to screening: Coyoacán and FUCAM launched a mobile campaign offering up to 1,200 free mammograms through November, and Monterrey’s city government with Red Ambiental began a ‘Campaña Rosa’ with pink garbage trucks and 100 donated mammograms.
• Civic and sports partners are mobilizing fundraising and outreach, including Rayados de Monterrey’s October activities with mammograms and hair‑donation drives, a 19 October ‘Mi Lucha es Rosa’ race in Mexico City to fund an ultrasound for the IMSS Tláhuac clinic, and mobile screenings by Peru’s Liga Contra el Cáncer.
