In 2023, 658 women died due to breast cancer which represented 184 more deaths than 10 years earlier when 474 deaths had been recorded, which implies that 12 women die from breast cancer every week.
Fernando Petersen Aranguren, Secretary of Health of the State of Jalisco, explained that Since 2002, breast cancer has been the leading cause of death among cancers in women.
Cardiovascular disease remains the number one cause of death in men and women.
“In 2023 Jalisco with a rate of 25.1 deaths per 100 thousand women over 25 years of age Jaliscus It ranked 5th nationally, while the rate is 19.9, so an effort must be made as a society to reduce mortality from breast cancer and the only way is to make early arrests.
Patricia Ayala Orduña, cancer survivor, called on women to undergo studies.
“Let them explore themselves, teach their daughters, their granddaughters, their nieces to spread the word so they can explore themselves, “That the mammography trucks are not empty, we have the resource, we must use it, taking care of our health is a gesture of love for life,” he stated.
Tonight was the International Day to Fight Breast Cancer. Officials from the three levels of government and special guests attended the event held in the Historic Center of Guadalajara.
