The Cura Project Institute will hold, on the 15th, Cura Talks, which is an event that aims to provide guidelines for the challenges faced by cancer patients in Brazil and to provide a space for information and awareness on important topics, especially related to clinical research in oncology.

Cura Talks, which takes place in a hybrid form on March 15, 2024 in São Paulo, focuses on current and relevant issues that directly impact the quality of life and outcomes of cancer patients, as well as their support networks.

The purpose of the Cura Project Institute is to inform and make society in general, which includes health professionals, leaders of patient associations, patients, family members and all those interested in the fight against cancer, aware of various aspects of oncology, with special attention to clinical research. By doing so, we hope to empower participants to better understand the current cancer research landscape, its advances and challenges, and how this translates into tangible benefits for patients.
