Committee of Recommendation


As Committee of Recommendation we endorse the goals of Stichting YvYa.

The availability of new scientific methods for the screening for breast cancer is vital for women.

We consider the development of the Early Warning Scan, which is supported by Stichting YvYa, extremely valuable: this innovation can make an essential contribution to the reduction in the number of deaths.

It can also improve the quality of life for women who are the victims of breast cancer.

I have been watching Tom Sanders for some time because of his drive to discover new innovative, technical solutions.  

He has successes, but sometimes a good idea doesn't get further than the drawing board. That must not happen this time!

The Early Warning Scan can be a breakthrough in diagnosing breast cancer in time. The development of this system deserves all our support.

A quick completion of the Early Warning Scan is very important for all women.

By making screening accessible, early treatent is made possible.

In the long term this provides, along with the many saved lives, a reduction of the healthcare costs.
Let us in the Netherlands take the lead in this great venture!

As you get older, as a professional but also as a wife, sister, mother, grandmother and friend, you come into contact with people in your immediate environment who are confronted with a form of cancer. Being told that the diagnosis of breast cancer could have been made earlier is extra sickening for a woman. The development and accessibility of the Early Earning Scan contribute to a more positive health experience and the taking of control of - and by women.
