With the "UMBERTO VERONESI" Foundation organizes information meetings on the Prevention of Male and Female tumors conducted by Dr. Agnese Collino and Dr. Alessandro Vitale, Biologists and Scientific Supervisors of the "UMBERTO VERONESI" Foundation.
Prevention can make a difference every day.
Prevention and early diagnosis are the best ways of protecting against diseases, first and foremost tumors. Scientific research has taken giant steps: since the end of the 1990s the survival rate from breast cancer, far and away the most common tumor in women, has increased from 74% to 87%. Scientific progress continues. In the meantime, what we can do is keep up to date, use authoritative sources, and always adopt behavior complementing our health.
During this meeting, the "UMBERTO VERONESI" Foundation offers an overview of the lifestyles that will help us for the prevention of tumors and the tests and examinations that will defend us against female and male tumors.
