October: Breast Cancer Awareness Month

According to WHO (World Health Organization), October is the international month to increase attention and support in breast cancer. It is important to know that breast cancer is affecting by far in developed and in developing countries and the incidence has been increased in both.

Unfortunately, there is not enough information about the causes of breast cancer, but early detection is very important in the control and prognosis of the disease. Because if the cancer is early detected and there is an adequate treatment, it can be cured. For this reason, the majority of deaths in breast cancer are due to late stages and progression of the cancer. In many countries, there is not an adequate program for early detection.

In Spain, Maldita Nerea, a pop-rock group has written a song called "Tú eres la vida" in which describes how a woman feels when is suffering for breast cancer. This song would not be possible with the collaboration of other artists and is part of the concert given by Cadena 100 in which all the benefits will be donated to "Asociacion Española Contra el Cáncer" (AECC) that offers some researching programms in breast cancer.
