In May, INOC—the National Cancer Institute of Candiolo—will provide information and in-depth coverage on thyroid and parathyroid cancers—cancers that require careful evaluation and personalized treatment plans to ensure effectiveness and quality of life. At the Institute, the team led by Dr. Stefano Bondi, Director of Otolaryngology, works daily in a multidisciplinary setting: thanks to collaboration among various specialists, diagnostic and therapeutic plans are tailored to each patient.

The awareness-raising initiatives will also address the issue of ovarian cancer and the importance of nutrition in oncology. Below is the calendar listing all the events and dates not to be missed throughout the month.
