The Ipatimup – Institute of Molecular Pathology and Immunology of the University of Porto, in partnership with Antena 1, is promoting a series of conferences and podcast sessions on cancer literacy. The aim is to simplify concepts, place patients at the center of the debate, and create opportunities to hear from experts about medical and scientific advances in the treatment of a disease that still kills more than 28,000 Portuguese people a year. This initiative is supported by Roche.
