The ATFC has embarked on the largest project in its history; the establishment of a breast cancer center in the city of Mersin on Turkey’s southern coast. The clinic will serve a region of the country currently in need of a comprehensive approach to the detection and treatment of breast cancer. The ATFC Clinic will provide especially the under-served women with all the resources necessary to detect, diagnose, and treat their breast cancer at the earliest stage possible. The early detection followed by treatment and rehabilitation is the key to increased recovery rates.
