Incidence in the world:

Female breast cancer is by far the most frequently diagnosed malignancy, accounting for about 29% of all oncological diagnoses in women. The risk of having a breast cancer diagnosis over a lifetime is one in eight women. It is estimated that in Italy over 47,000 cases are diagnosed each year. The incidence presents some differences between geographical areas with higher levels in the central-northern areas and lower in the South. It is the leading cause of cancer mortality and represents 17% of all cancer deaths among Italian women. Breast cancer shows high levels of survival, around 85% at 5 years after diagnosis. The most recent AIRTUM estimates indicate that in Italy 522,235 women had a diagnosis of breast cancer during their lifetime.

Application technique of Linfotaping Bellia System after mastectomy
The body surface covered by kinesiological taping forms convolutions in the skin that increase interstitial space and, by reducing the pressure, allow the lymphatic and blood system to freely drain fluids. Thus a "flywheel" of actions is created which allow the body to heal itself biomechanically.
