With the aim of increasing public awareness on symptoms and treatment of breast cancer, the Campus Universitario (CUOP) and the non-profit Grupo Reto joined forces to offer local women a conference on the disease, coupled with access to 180 mammograms provided at no cost.
The program, entitled “Let’s learn to prevent breast cancer and accept living with it,” was presented Thursday, December 5 at CUOP’s Chapala classroom facility.
