To help improve the quality of breast cancer care globally, a collaboration of leading partners has created the Grand Rounds in Breast Cancer series of educational webinars. This session with ecancer enables learners the opportunity to discuss controversies, real-life challenges and effective application of existing knowledge.

In this edition Dr Eileen Morgan (International Agency for Research on Cancer, Lyon, France), Dr Isabelle Soerjomataram (International Agency for Research on Cancer, Lyon, France) and Dr Shalaka Joshi (Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai, India) presents their talks on burden and trends of breast cancer worldwide: Opportunities for prevention?

Breast cancer is a major global health concern, especially in developing countries like India, where urbanisation and lifestyle changes lead to increased cases. Key risk factors include reproductive behaviour and lifestyle choices. Early detection through screening and awareness is crucial, supported by the WHO's Global Breast Cancer Initiative. Projections show a rise in cases, highlighting the need for action to tackle risk factors and enhance healthcare access.
