Mission & Goals
Transforming Breast Cancer Together’ is a multi-stakeholder platform bringing together policymakers, organisations and industry members deeply committed to alleviating cancer as a policy priority to improve breast cancer care in the EU. The initiative aims to increase the understanding of the daily realities of living with early and advanced breast cancer in Europe and ensure that policymaking reflects both the individual and the societal disease burden. Through publications, advocacy work and events, the initiative contributes to increased recognition of the challenges posed by breast cancer in the EU. Patient empowerment and cancer patients’ needs are at the centre of all the activities implemented by the group. These aims serve as an inspiration and the driving force of Transforming Breast Cancer Together initiative.
