The new Breast Cancer Risk Assessment in Young Women project will become one of the first in the world to identify which women are at risk of getting the disease in their 30s.Sarah sadly passed away in September 2021, and it was later revealed that one of the singer’s last wishes was for there to be another method of identifying early stages of breast cancer, in the hopes of saving lives.
Catherine continued: “Hopefully it will have massive implications and will improve the way we screen younger women.”
