Free event open to the public - Cura TALKS Breast Gramado - brings renowned experts to discuss new treatments and the importance of safe sources about the disease

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women in the country. Therefore, it is important to encourage academic clinical research. The president of the Cura Project Institute, Fernanda Schwyter, organizer of the event, points out that

“we need to know our population and carry out more studies to answer questions about the incidence of the disease in our population so that we can learn more about the peculiarities of the disease faced by so many Brazilian women”.

Cura TALKS Breast Gramado will be held as a parallel program to the 18th Gramado Breast Cancer, an exclusive congress for doctors. Some of these specialists will also participate in the Cura Talks Breast talks, presenting advances in treatments, including metastatic cancer.

Another focus of the meeting will be the discussion about the importance of disseminating reliable content, avoiding fake news and disservices. For this reason, opinion leaders - press, patient entities and digital influencers - are the target audience of Cura TALKS Breast Gramado.

Statistics: According to the Ministry of Health, in Brazil, excluding non-melanoma skin tumors, breast cancer is the most common in women in all regions, with the highest rates in the South and Southeast regions. For each year of the triennial period 2023-2025, 73,610 new cases were estimated, representing an adjusted incidence rate of 41.89 cases per 100,000 women (INCA, 2022).

The Cura Project Institute is a non-profit entity dedicated to making society aware of the benefits of clinical research. The entity, which is at the forefront in Latin America, encourages health professionals to be researchers and raises funds to finance independent scientific or academic studies, through the promotion of scientific, sporting or social events. The organization also receives donations from individuals or legal entities - directly or indirectly - through the donation or deduction of income taxes, for example.
