We speak with Maria Papageorgiou, President of the “Erifyle” Initiative for Patients with Gynecologic Cancers, on the occasion of the symposium “Little Iphigenias: Women Facing Silent Cancers.” The discussion focuses on the woman behind the diagnosis, her fears and questions, the need for accurate and reliable information, and her right to be informed, ask questions and participate in decisions concerning her health and her life.
In the second part of the program, we speak with Michalis Liontos, Medical Oncologist and Associate Professor at the School of Medicine of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. We discuss the symptoms that should not be ignored, the importance of early diagnosis by specialists, the new possibilities offered by modern oncology, the latest personalized treatment approaches and the major pan-European clinical trials being conducted at Alexandra Hospital, with particularly encouraging results.
A discussion about science, information and prevention, but above all, about the woman at the center of it all.
