EVENT RECAP & WEBINAR RECORDING
Be Breast & Chest Aware - Make Self-Checks a Lifesaving Habit
This October, the city came together with Lloyd’s Market for one of the largest city-wide health campaigns ever: "Be Breast & Chest Aware: Make Self-Checks a Lifesaving Habit."
Around 100 attendees joined us in-person at the Old Library, enjoying a complimentary buffet, networking with fellow professionals, and expert insights from Consultant Breast Cancer Surgeon Miss Joanna Franks. Several days later, the live webinar talk by Miss Franks reached an audience of nearly 350 people.
Key Takeaways:
- Breast cancer affects everyone. 1 in 7 women will be diagnosed in their lifetime, and around 1% of cases occur in men, typically aged 55–70. Awareness for all is essential.
- Know your risk factors. Age, family history, dense breast tissue, radiation exposure, and genetic mutations (BRCA1/2) can influence risk.
- Understanding and reducing risk matters. Lifestyle choices such as maintaining a healthy weight, staying active, limiting alcohol, and avoiding smoking can reduce risk.
- Monthly self-checks empower action. Knowing what is normal for your breasts or chest helps identify subtle changes early, enabling timely assessment.
