The event will address prevention, risk factors, and the integration of medicine, psychology, and physical exercise in treatment.
ISMAT will host a seminar dedicated to oncological disease under the premise that “a diagnosis is not a destiny”.
The initiative seeks to demystify the impact of cancer through an integrated and multidisciplinary perspective, bringing together contributions from medical intervention, psychology, physical exercise, and physiotherapy.
In addition to discussing patient care and treatment, the meeting will highlight risk factors and primary prevention. Different therapeutic methodologies and their effectiveness in improving patients' quality of life will also be analyzed.
With this event, the institute reinforces its commitment to health promotion, community awareness, and scientific debate around key issues in contemporary society.
