Making breast cancer screening better for every woman
This is what drives us: painless, early detection of breast cancer for everyone: the Early Warning Scan.
Our mission
What exactly does YvYa want to be?
YvYa is an women's interest group. We make painless and early detection of breast cancer accessible to all women.
Through the development of the Early Warning Scan (EWS), YvYa helps detect breast cancer earlier. We do this in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of scientific partners. In this way, we are building a healthier future for women.
YvYa is committed to generating impact. We work independently and connect partners and women for the long term. In this way, we are building a healthcare system in which early detection is a right for all women.

Awareness campaign
Every woman deserves to know what is normal for her breasts and when she should take action.
Experience experts provide accessible and interactive information about breast cancer and its warning signs. This knowledge helps women be more alert and take action sooner.
Learn more about the symptoms and how to recognize them early. Together, we are stronger in the fight against breast cancer.

Women, take matters into your own hands!
Every day, women are at risk without even knowing it. For 12,000 women a year, there is no form of early screening. They’re on their own and have to figure out for themselves that something is wrong—all too often only when it’s already too late.
Because breast health isn’t taught anywhere, women lack the knowledge to recognize early warning signs. That makes them unnecessarily vulnerable.
YvYa is taking action. Our experts by experience provide accessible information that gives women confidence, raises their awareness, and helps them act in time.
And we’re building a new, much-needed standard: the Early Warning Scan—painless, early-detection, and for women of all ages.
