BMC Women's Health

Breast cancer is by far the most common cancer in women worldwide. This awareness month aims to increase attention and support for breast cancer, early detection and treatment as well as palliative care of this disease.

In support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month October 2018, we brought together influential research from our most relevant journals, including BMC Women's Health, Breast Cancer Research and more.
