Did you know? In Pakistan, 40,000 women die from breast cancer every year because it’s detected too late—nearly half of the 90,000 cases diagnosed annually. Early screening can push survival rates up to 90%, but there’s more to the story. Women in Pakistan face immense social and economic challenges when dealing with breast cancer. The stigma, often heightened by the lack of open conversations involving men, makes it even harder. Early screening is the key - don’t let late detection lock the door on life. It’s crucial to not only encourage early detection but also to educate both men and women about the importance of supporting breast cancer awareness. Together, we can break down barriers, open up conversations and save lives through early action and understanding Source: World Health Organization #RocheDiagnosticsPakistan #TestEarlyTreatRight #BreastCancerAwareness #FactualFriday

While family genes can be a factor, around 90% of breast cancer cases are due to other influences, like environment and lifestyle. The biggest risk factors? Simply being a woman and getting older.

This year, World Mental Health Day 2024 calls on workplaces worldwide to prioritize mental health. With employed adults spending more waking hours at work than anywhere else, the impact on mental well-being is profound. Work should be a source of purpose and joy, but for many, it contributes to mental health challenges like anxiety and depression. The global economic cost of untreated workplace mental health issues is staggering—estimated at $1 trillion annually by the WHO. At Roche, we believe that mental well-being is essential for creating healthier, more resilient workplaces. By championing mental health in the workplace, we empower individuals, boost productivity, and create inclusive environments where everyone has the potential to contribute and thrive. Together, we’re committed to fostering a culture that values mental health—for healthier minds, healthier companies, and healthier communities.

Did you know men can get breast cancer too? It’s a lesser-known fact, but a man’s lifetime risk of developing breast cancer is about 1 in 1,000. While it’s less common, men have breast tissue, and just like women, they can develop breast cancer. Breast cancer doesn’t care about gender—no one gets a pass. Let’s bust that myth and raise awareness for all who are at risk—because breast cancer doesn’t discriminate. Early detection saves lives, no matter the gender!

Did you know Pakistan has the highest incidence rate of breast cancer in Asia? One in every nine women faces the risk of diagnosis in her lifetime. Like a storm brewing in silence, misconceptions and socioeconomic barriers leave many women in the dark, delaying early detection and leading to late-stage diagnoses with fewer chances of survival. Early diagnosis is the key to weathering this storm and saving lives. By raising awareness and educating women, we can empower them to act early and seek the care they deserve. Let’s be the beacon of light that guides them through the storm. Source: National Library of Medicine #RocheDiagnosticsPakistan #TestEarlyTreatRight #BreastCancerAwareness #EarlyDetection
