Together we fight breast cancer!
The Breast Cancer Association is Sweden´s only interest organization that focuses solely on breast cancer.

Support and rehabilitation are offered and opinion formation on breast cancer issues is driven. The Breast Cancer Association has close to 11,000 members and 32 local breast cancer associations across Sweden.
