The movement known as Pink October was born in the United States, in the 1990s, and is celebrated every year to raise awareness and encourage the population to participate in breast cancer control, reinforcing the importance of detecting the disease at an early stage.
Early diagnosis is essential for a good result in the treatment of the disease, being more common in women, only 1% of cases are diagnosed in men. Age is one of the most important risk factors for the disease. Around four in every five cases occur after the age of 50, breast cancer with a genetic or hereditary nature accounts for only 5% to 10% of the total cases of the disease.
It is estimated that on average 30% of breast cancer cases can be avoided when healthy practices are adopted, such as eating healthily, avoiding alcohol consumption and breastfeeding, maintaining adequate body weight, and practicing physical activity.
In addition to the Itaipu Hydroelectric Plant, other world icons, such as Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, the Statue of Liberty in New York and the Eiffel Tower in Paris, will also carry the same message throughout the month of October.
