Knokke-Heist is calling on women aged 50 to 69 to participate in the Flemish Population Screening Program for Breast Cancer, which aims for early detection and improves the chances of successful treatment.

October, designated as breast cancer awareness month, highlights the importance of preventive examinations. Detecting breast cancer earlier enhances the likelihood of recovery and can lead to less burdensome treatments.
The Flemish Population Screening Program for Breast Cancer invites women aged 50 to 69 to undergo screening every two years. Those who have received an invitation are urged not to postpone their appointment and to prioritize their health.
Further information about the screening and how to participate can be found on the official website of the Flemish Population Screening Program for Breast Cancer (borstkanker.bevolkingsonderzoek.be). Think Pink also provides information and support regarding breast cancer.
