Dear patients,
dear colleagues
the CCC Office Team is only active in a coordinating role and cannot make appointments for medical examinations. Without exception, patients are cared for in the corresponding special oncology outpatient departments.

Breast cancer screening
With a share of 30 percent, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in Austria. On average, 5000 women are newly diagnosed with this disease every year. Breast cancer accounts for 15 percent of all deaths between the ages of 35 and 64. Early detection of breast cancer improves the possibility of treatment and the chance of cure. Breast cancer screening is the only evidence-based screening method that has been shown to contribute to a significant reduction in breast cancer morbidity and mortality.
