Breast Cancer awareness campaign 2022

Breast Cancer is one of the most prevalent cancer malignancies in Egypt. For October, the official awareness month, The Faculty of Biotechnology organized an awareness campaign for the 4th time on the early detection and prevention of Breast Cancer. Interestingly, the campaign had the theme, of shedding light on how medicine and psychology align to offer better treatment for cancer survivors, and their families. It had three major elements:
