Article title: Le Sénat unanime pour améliorer la prise en charge des soins liés au cancer du sein

The French Senate has unanimously voted in favor of a bill aimed at improving the care and support for breast cancer patients. The bill includes several measures, such as:

1. Establishing a reference physician for each patient, who will coordinate their care and follow-up.
2. Improving access to genetic testing for people at high risk of breast cancer.
3. Creating a national breast cancer screening database to monitor the quality and effectiveness of screening programs.
4. Providing mental health support for patients, including coverage for up to 10 psychologist sessions per year.
5. Establishing specific rights for patients, such as the right to a second medical opinion and the right to be informed about clinical trials.

The bill still needs to be voted on by the National Assembly before it can become law.
