This #InternationalWomenโ€™sDay we reflect on the growing inequalities for women with advanced breast cancer. While survival has improved in some regions, our new Decade Report showed that in others, women arenโ€™t getting access to life-extending new treatments. We call on policymakers, regulators, industry and healthcare providers to work together towards the goals of the ABC Global Charter 2025-2035, improving access to best care for all women with ABC. Our mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, friends deserve better! abcglobalalliance.org/abc-glโ€ฆ
