Saudi-American Conference on Breast Cancer wraps up its works

Jeddah, October 26, SPA -- The Saudi-American conference on breast
cancer ended its deliberations here yesterday.


The participants of the conference underlined the importance of
spreading awareness about the disease and extending support to
persons suffering from it.


Moreover, they called for the establishment of diagnosis and
treatment centers throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia notably in
the Northern and Southern regions.


Meanwhile, the conference underscored the importance of
specialization in the field of tumors taking into account that the
number of consultants in this sphere in the Kingdom does not exceed
50.


Moreover, the conference called for extending subsidies to patients
suffering from breast cancer due to the fact that medicines used in
the treatment of the disease are very expensive.
