Thousands of women around the world have already joined the 2012 Breast Health Day Campaign "Make Good Choices For Your Breast Health" via major social networks in the run up to Breast Health Day on 15 October. This year’s campaign continues to encourage girls and women around the world to commit to daily healthy lifestyle choices that can make the difference in the future of their breast health.
EUROPA DONNA is sharing a series of video messages on www.breasthealthday.org and on YouTube to spread information and scientific data about breast cancer prevention and the importance of healthy lifestyle choices. These messages feature international epidemiologist Isabelle Romieu, Head of the Section of Nutrition and Metabolism at the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer).

Spotlight on:Patient voice
Oncologists have been shocked by the growing body of evidence showing that many cancer patients are failing to take their drugs as prescribed, even when there is strong evidence to show they will benefit, and the side-effects are not considered serious. In this article, three patients try to explain why this may be happening. They urge oncologists to be more aware of their patients' doubts and concerns about their medication, and to help them feel more comfortable about discussing their problems with adherence.
What do you think?
How confident are you that your patients are taking oral medications as prescribed?
What can health professionals do to encourage more open conversations about adherence?
