Cancer awareness and screening trends in Poland

Overview

Actress Monika Pikuła has publicly shared her journey battling breast cancer following her diagnosis in early October. Through social media, she has documented her hospitalizations and chemotherapy to advocate for early detection and regular screenings.

Her situation has drawn attention to public health trends in Poland. Reports indicate that while most women recognize the importance of early detection, screening rates remain low. Data shows that one in four Polish women aged 18-65 has never undergone a breast ultrasound or mammogram, and Eurostat figures place Poland among the European Union nations with the lowest rates of breast cancer screenings.
