Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UAE and according to the World Health Organization, breast cancer accounted for 21.4 percent of all cancer cases recorded in the UAE in 2021, totaling 1,030 new diagnoses. 

While cancer is a widespread public health problem and a leading cause of death, according to FoCP, it can also be a uniting force that brings communities together in pursuit of a common social goal. This can lead to increased unity and fraternity among those affected by cancer.
