The event, hosted by Brystkræftforeningen, also marked the 25th anniversary of its advocacy work for breast cancer awareness and support in Denmark.   ➡️ Breast cancer organisations from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands came together to share their programs and initiatives. The exchange of ideas and practices fostered collaboration, as all participants are united in their goal of providing the highest quality care and services for people diagnosed with breast cancer.    ✨ Highlights: a very inspiring talk by Prof. Per Hall, Karolinska Institutet on stratified primary and secondary prevention, a focused session on Late Effects of Breast Cancer Treatment delivered by Prof. Anders Bonde Jensen and an inspiring presentation of an ongoing study on Shared Decision Making by Bettina Mølri Knudsen.   🙏 It was a highly successful congress, offering valuable insights and emphasizing the importance of continued collaboration. There is a lot of work ahead, but we are committed to strengthening our ties and making our voices heard as a unified force across Europe!
