EUBREAST Network’s objective is to research less extensive approaches to breast cancer surgery in order to improve the quality of life of affected patients. The intent of this non-profit network of renowned oncological breast surgeons is to join forces to accelerate scientific progress to the direct benefit of breast cancer patients.
In Europe, more than five hundred thousand patients are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. EUBREAST Network physicians are convinced that less invasive surgery is possible for many of these patients without augmenting the risk. Minimalizing surgery can help to reduce the physical and psychological burden after operation as well as to facilitate their return to an active lifestyle. However, research that is targeted at reducing the amount of required therapy doesn‘t readily attract financial support, because its results do not involve any direct economic profit for the sponsors. Therefore, EUBREAST welcomes supporters who share its international vision and the goal to increase the quality of life of patients diagnosed with breast cancer.
