July at INOC: Outreach Initiatives
In July, INOC—the Candiolo National Cancer Institute —will provide information and in-depth analysis on soft tissue and bone sarcomas.
The sarcomas are rare tumors that can originate in soft tissues and bones and require specialized expertise for diagnosis and treatment. At INOC, they are treated by a multidisciplinary team led by Dr. Giovanni Grignani, Director of Medical Oncology and the Oncology Day Hospital. The team works closely with various specialists to provide personalized, multidisciplinary treatment plans.
Throughout the month, numerous in-depth articles will be published both on the INOC website and on its social media channels. Among the articles you won’t want to miss:
