Dear Rotarian Fellow,

Breast cancer is one of the most important problem that threaten women's health. There is an increased risk of breast cancer in one of every 8 women. When diagnosed early, it could be treated. After cardiovascular diseases, cancer is second cause of death both men and women in Turkey . The most common cancer type is breast cancer with 40.7% in Turkey.

Approximately 380,000 free breast screening to women who live those areas targeted by the project, and those who are at risk will be directed to the nearest public hospitals with these mobile units .Addition to this, in order to raise awareness of this issue among the women, vehicle will be parked in some areas such as large fairs, concerts, huge organizations to make free tests and distribute information leaflets about the breast cancer.
