00:00These days are extremely important because they are initiatives that aim to sensitize
00:12prevention, especially breast cancer, and above all they lead us to rethink some important
00:19concepts.
00:20Today breast cancer is certainly the most frequent neoplasia in women, every year there are
00:26about 55,000 new cases, but it is important to know that with secondary prevention it allows us
00:35to do early diagnosis and this allows women to have a high probability of healing.
00:41But today what I also wanted to emphasize is the importance of primary prevention, that
00:47is, trying to eliminate, to reduce as much as possible all those risk factors that allow us
00:53to reduce the incidence of this disease, and certainly among these risk factors, in addition
00:59to a healthy diet, the correct habits of life, there is sports activity.
01:05Physically active people have the risk, and these are data that are now present in the literature,
01:11to reduce the incidence of the disease by almost 25%.
01:16And this is fundamental, because reiterating that physical activity is important represents
01:24a crucial moment in the choice of people's way of living, rather than an indication
01:31that they should have their own oncological prescription, as well as treatments, which
01:37very often have an efficacy far superior to those that can be more active oncological
01:43treatments.
