The French doctor Henri François Le Dran was the first person to give a truly complete description of the disease, between 1685 and 1770.
He defined how the cancer spreads from the breast to the lymph nodes under the armpit and, from there, to the rest of the body. He noted that when these lymph nodes are affected, prognosis is poor and, over two hundred years later, we are still working to improve health and prevent this disease.
On 22nd June, as part of the Science Conferences organised by Analiza, scientists and doctors will come together in the Conference Hall of the Cadiz Official Medical Association to talk about advances in diagnosis and the prospects for the not-too-distant future.
The event will be presented by Dr Antonio Amaya, from HLA Puerta del Sur hospital, and Ms Nuria Martín, Managing Director of Analiza.
