About the Cura Project Institute

The Cura Project Institute is a non-profit institution and is the only one in Latin America that seeks to make the population aware of the benefits of research in the fight against cancer, in order to create a culture of philanthropy to finance them.

In its wide network of collaborators, Cura has researchers, oncologists, radiologists, surgeons and other health professionals who carry out various types of research. In addition, it also has the support of companies from various sectors, hospitals, research centers, NGOs, public institutions, volunteers and patients, all partners in the fight against cancer.

About the disease

Every year, more than 620,000 new cases of cancer are registered in Brazil (INCA, 2020). When it comes to breast cancer, the disease accounts for almost 30% of new cancer cases in Brazilian women (INCA, 2020) and is responsible for 16% of cancer deaths in women (INCA, 2019). Thus, it is necessary to encourage new public policies and technologies to promote the improvement of the outcomes of these patients.
