〔記者羅碧/台北報導〕乳癌早期可能沒有明顯症狀,別等摸到硬塊才檢查。第三屆「BreastPink 2026粉紅女力護乳自行車」活動,今(7日)在台北市馬場町紀念公園舉行,500組乳癌家庭參與,透過騎車、健走,在醫療團隊與親友陪伴下,逐步找回體能與生活節奏。
活動由林口長庚醫院乳癌專科醫師周旭桓發起,BreastPink團隊與台灣癌症基金會共同主辦,參與規模從首屆100組、第二屆300組,增至今年500組乳癌家庭。今年另增設健走組,讓不同體能狀況的病友與家屬都能參與。
周旭桓指出,乳癌不能只靠觸摸自我檢查,早期可能沒有明顯症狀,不應等到摸到硬塊才就醫。目前政府提供40至74歲女性每2年1次免費乳房X光攝影篩檢,國內研究顯示,定期篩檢可降低約41%的乳癌死亡率,提醒符合資格的女性定期受檢。
依據2023年癌症登記資料,台灣女性乳癌新增個案達17,779人,2025年乳癌死亡人數則為3,116人。周旭桓表示,隨著治療朝精準化、個人化發展,確診後仍應積極接受適切治療並持續追蹤,有機會獲得良好疾病控制。
他也提醒,除了治療與追蹤,適當運動是癌後健康的重要一環。病友可依自身體能及醫療團隊建議,逐步建立運動習慣,改善疲倦、維持體能與生活品質,不必勉強自己一次達到過高的運動目標。

台灣癌症基金會副執行長蔡麗娟表示,病友除了面對身體治療與復原,也可能承受情緒壓力、家庭關係、身體形象及重返日常生活等挑戰,癌症照護需要家庭、社會與心理支持共同投入。
蔡麗娟指出,活動3年來從100組增至500組,反映越來越多病友願意走出來、重新擁抱生活。希望透過活動,讓運動成為病友找回健康與自信的起點,也讓親友從照顧者成為同行者,以陪同就醫、分擔家務等實際行動,支持病友走過抗癌歷程。
