In Spain, thousands of women took to the streets of Seville to protest against failures in the breast cancer screening system. The irregularities, which include delays in testing, modified reports, and lack of communication with patients, have sparked a wave of public outrage and the call for a large march by the Association of Women with Breast Cancer, AMAMA. According to the organization, numerous medical records have been altered, replacing terms such as "suspicious" or 'inconclusive' with "probably benign," which would have prevented many women from receiving the necessary medical follow-up. In this regard, the regional government of Andalusia recognized that at least 2,317 women in the region have been affected by errors in the follow-up of their mammograms.
