Free event On August 29, experts will be brought together to discuss the impact of integrating different areas in the patient's journey

Gramado, RS — Breast cancer is the most common type among women in Brazil and in the world. According to the National Cancer Institute (INCA), 73,000 new cases are estimated annually in the country in the triennial period 2023-2025, corresponding to almost 30% of all female tumors. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, experts emphasize that the greatest current challenge is to ensure comprehensive care, which considers not only the disease, but the patient in all its physical, emotional and social complexity.

This will be the focus of Cura Talks Gramado 2025, promoted by the Cura Project Institute, which takes place on August 29, from 8:30 to 18:00 at the Teatro Lupicinio Rodrigues — Hotel Wish Serrano, in Gramado (RS). O free event will bring together health professionals, patients, and families to discuss how the multidisciplinary approach directly impacts clinical outcomes and women's quality of life.

Nutrition as a key element in integrated care

Nutritionist Fernanda Bortolon points out that diet is a fundamental part of this process: “Nutrition is essential in the multidisciplinary care of women with breast cancer: it helps to manage side effects, to maintain adequate weight, to preserve muscle mass and to improve quality of life. Studies show that personalized nutritional interventions are associated with a lower risk of recurrence, better treatment tolerance and longer survival, reinforcing the fundamental role of the oncology nutritionist in the team.”

The view of the clinical oncologist

The oncologist Dr. Tomás Reinert, who participates in the panel on the importance of the multidisciplinary team, reinforces the impact of this care model: “Breast cancer must be treated not only with medications and procedures, but also with comprehensive care. The presence of a multidisciplinary team makes a real difference in the patient's journey, helping to reduce side effects, preserve mental and physical health, and promote healthier lifestyle habits. Studies show that this approach is associated with greater adherence to treatment, better quality of life, and even increased survival, reinforcing the importance of integrating different professionals in cancer care.”

With the theme “Integrated Care for Breast Cancer”, Cura Talks Gramado 2025 will feature debates on:

• Getting to Know Breast Cancer
• Importance of the multidisciplinary approach in the patient's journey
• Cancer at different stages of life: what changes in care?
• The breast PCDT and its integration with the multidisciplinary team
• Life after treatment

Aimed at patients, family members, health professionals and interested parties, the event promotes scientific updating, active listening and strengthening support networks in a welcoming environment.
