Why the Contigo Foundation?
BECAUSE 1 IN 8 WOMEN WILL DEVELOP BREAST CANCER IN THEIR LIFETIME
The Contigo Foundation works tirelessly every day to find increasingly better treatments that will allow us to finally say to cancer: ENOUGH!
BECAUSE AROUND 34,750 NEW CASES OF BREAST CANCER ARE DIAGNOSED EACH YEAR IN SPAIN AND MORE THAN 2,300,000 WORLDWIDE
The Contigo Foundation is committed to better diagnosis and treatment, and to this end it has a multidisciplinary scientific committee with 20 years of experience in the specialty and recognized international prestige.
BECAUSE TODAY 6,572 WOMEN DIE FROM BREAST CANCER IN SPAIN EACH YEAR
Reducing mortality from cancer in women requires investing in research that transforms science and allows progress in the fight against all types of cancer in women.
FOR ALL THESE REASONS
In 2021, Dr. Javier Cortés decided to create the Contigo Foundation, with the aim of promoting research exclusively on Women’s Cancer.
