On September 26th and 27/09, the Cura Project participated in another edition of the congress All Together Against Cancer in São Paulo. In addition to the stand, where people could learn more about CURA, on the 27th, the LACOG - Latin American Cooperative Oncology Group reflected on the situation of the cancer epidemic and described the benefits and ways of conducting a clinical study in Brazil. The panel “The Benefits of Research and Scientific Innovation in Oncology for Cancer Patients” brought together great specialists in oncology such as Dr. Carlos Barrios, Dr. Sergio Simon, Dr. Fabio Franke. In addition to them, we had the presence of Bob Chapman, representative of the American Cancer Society, the coordinator of the Cure Project, the psychologist Fernanda Schwyter, and the patient Ana Cristina Angrisano, who gave her testimony about participating in clinical research.

This was another opportunity to discuss and disseminate the importance of encouraging clinical research in Latin America.
