Two-thirds of people who have cancer no longer die from cancer, but there won't be a vaccine, so screening, prevention, control, and information should be the focus.

Two-thirds of people with cancer survive, meaning that only one in three dies from the disease.

The "Tratar o Cancro por Tu" initiative returns for a fifth edition in 2026, with six sessions in various cities across the country.

The pathologist, who won the Pessoa Prize in 2002, was speaking about the fifth edition of the "Tratar o cancro por tu" cycle.

Two-thirds of people who have cancer no longer die from the disease. Screening, prevention, control, and information should be the focus.

Manuel Sobrinho Simões further explains that there is no prospect of a vaccine being developed, so screening and prevention remain important.

Cancer won't have a vaccine but it can be controlled: "Tratar o cancro por tu" initiative will address the disease.

Manuel Sobrinho Simões, the pathologist who won the Pessoa Prize in 2002, says that “we cannot speak of a cure, but we can speak of control.

Sobrinho Simões argues that screening, prevention, control, and information are essential in the fight against cancer.
