“Tratar o cancro por tu” brings together scientists from Ipatimup with some of the best local specialists for an open and simplified conversation about cancer, placing patients at the center of the discussion.

At a time when one in five cancer patients saw their treatment delayed because of the pandemic and around 100 million screenings were canceled across Europe, Ipatimup believed it was urgent to reintroduce the topic of cancer into the public discussion. This created opportunities to hear from specialists about the medical and scientific advances in the treatment of the disease that still kills more than 28 thousand Portuguese people per year.

With the “Tratar o cancro por tu” initiative, Ipatimup went beyond the walls of science to reach the population in six municipalities: Porto, Braga, Coimbra, Lisbon, Vila Real and Évora. Each of the six sessions focused on a different type of cancer, with some of the best specialists in various medical and surgical areas. The objective was always the same: to discuss the latest therapies in cancer treatment, simplify concepts, raise awareness of early diagnosis, and put patients at the heart of the conversation.

We thank all participants, partners and the public.
