AstraZeneca Provides Breast Cancer Education

get_the_facts.jpg

AstraZeneca recently launched a Disease Awareness program aimed at enhancing awareness of the risk of breast cancer recurrence and how to reduce that risk among survivors. The program consists of a television commercial called “If You Were My Sister,” an interactive Web site called , and an educational information kit, all featuring real women who are breast cancer survivors. The campaign encourages the public to learn and share critical information about the risk of breast cancer recurrence.

The site, developed by MBC, allows women to read general information or answer several questions about their individual situation and then read information specific to their situation. Lest we forget this is marketing, an email address is, optionally, requested at the end of the questions. We’re sure AstraZeneca’s drugs are promoted here somewhere but, aside from the separate corporate site, we couldn’t find it which, of course, is refreshing.
