Breast Cancer in Young Women Foundation (BCYWF)

The incidence of breast cancer in young women is rising worldwide, posing not only a threat to the lives of these women but also unique personal, social, and medical challenges compared to women who develop breast cancer at a later age. The BCYWF, led by a diverse international team of breast cancer oncologists and surgeons, scientists, advocates, and survivors, is dedicated to helping young women fight breast cancer through education, advanced research and support.  The BCYWF’s vision is to create a reality in which the death of a young woman from breast cancer becomes a rare event. The foundation’s logo symbolises empowerment and hope, combining the pink ribbon with a flying woman silhouette in purple, representing strength and wisdom.  The white waves represent a young woman’s power, boldness, courage, and tolerance to win any battle, woman’s flight in the sky symbolises her positive attitude to defeat cancer, and stars denote badges of hope, an enlightened path, and shining lights.
