Breast Cancer Awareness Month | October 2025
Early detection saves lives - but innovation changes outcomes.
In South Africa, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, with incidence continuing to rise across all communities. Yet, when detected early, up to 90% of patients can survive for many years.
That’s where OMICS research is reshaping hope into precision.
Through Onco-OMICS approaches scientists are uncovering the molecular patterns driving breast cancer in African populations - enabling earlier detection, more accurate diagnosis, and targeted treatments that reflect our unique genetic diversity.
This month, we stand with the women and researchers transforming awareness into action, and with every breakthrough that brings us closer to equitable, data-driven cancer care from South Africa to the world.
Where science meets humanity, OMICS leads the way.
