- Prior to 2017, former patients had to pay security deposits in excess of their bank loans for up to 20 years after their treatment ended.

One in three French (35%) knows the right to be forgotten
67% of the French believe that within 10 years, cancer has become less and less a taboo, and 35% believe that cancer is no longer a taboo at all today. One in three French (35%) knows the right to be forgotten, and 37% think that ten years is too long. Finally, 68% of French people believe that supporting patients in their daily lives is better than it was 10 years ago.
Examination is necessary
In France, every year 58,500 people (including 1% of men) develop breast cancer, and 12,100 people die from it. Thus, in 2021, 1 in 8 women are at risk. “To fight this lesion, screening and early diagnosis is essential: canceling a late screening or mammogram appointment means risking diagnosis and treatment too late, which can have serious consequences. However, if caught early, breast cancer is cured in 90% of cases!”, Remember the Anti-Cancer League.
