At a time when budgetary constraints and the pandemic are still being felt in terms of oncological diseases, with an impact on both the increase in mortality and the number of cases diagnosed late, IPATIMUP begins this new cycle of fortnightly sessions on cancer literacy with the same objectives as the first edition: inform about the most recent therapies in the fight against cancer, simplify concepts, raise awareness about early diagnosis and place patients at the center of the discussion.
The initiative, which takes place from January 19th to March 23rd, 2023, in six district capitals, will once again bring together some of the best national experts, with emphasis on the presence of Prof. Manuel Sobrinho Simões. In this edition, we also have the participation of the renowned actor Jorge Serafim who, through popular tales and some humor, will humanize the theme.
