Isabelle Aloi, president and founder of the non-profit organization Salvati AC, advocates for the creation of a memorial day in Mexico for Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), with the aim of raising awareness about this aggressive form of cancer that affects a growing number of young women in the country.
Aloi emphasizes the urgent need to raise awareness about TNBC and provide a space for patients and their loved ones to share experiences and find support. The lack of information and support for those facing this type of cancer is overwhelming, and the establishment of a memorial day could mark a turning point in the perception and treatment of this disease in Mexico.
Dr. Aloi points out that patients with triple negative breast cancer face a more challenging prognosis and have fewer treatment options available, which generates significant distress and misinformation among them and their families. This is why the creation of a day dedicated to raising awareness about TNBC is crucial to provide them with the recognition and attention they deserve.
The Salvati Foundation has observed a significant increase in the number of patients diagnosed with this type of cancer, which is often related to inherited genetic mutations. Aloi notes that in countries such as the United States and several European nations, March 3 is already recognized as Triple Negative Breast Cancer Day, and hopes that Mexico will soon join this initiative.
The fight against triple negative breast cancer is a challenge that requires urgent attention, and establishing a memorial day in Mexico could be an important step toward improving available resources and promoting research on this disease in the country. The establishment of this day would be a call to action to unite efforts in the fight against TNBC and provide the necessary support to patients and their families.
