(Adnkronos) - “Quando arriva una diagnosi così terrificante come il cancro ovarico è tutto un nucleo familiare ad essere sconvolto. Ma le donne e i familiari non sono soli: possono rivolgersi all’ACTO Campania ed essere indirizzati su centri d’eccellenza, evitando viaggi della speranza al nord”. Così Giovanni Gerosolima, Presidente ACTO Campania a margine del convegno sul tumore ovarico patrocinato da ACTO Campania e sponsorizzato da GSK.

00:00It is absolutely necessary to ensure psychological assistance.
00:09Women should not feel alone.
00:13Women must understand that when a diagnosis as terrifying as ovarian cancer arrives,
00:22the so-called silent killer,
00:25a family is shaken.
00:28The whole family must not feel abandoned.
00:31They must understand that they have the opportunity to have a friendly number,
00:35to turn to ACTO, in particular ACTO Campania in this case,
00:41and ensure that there are no journeys of hope.
00:44It is useless to go north when we have excellences here in Campania,
00:49but we must turn to the right centres of excellence.
00:54If they turn to us, our task is to guide them,
00:59to follow them psychologically,
01:02to follow them, as we will hear here today, also in food,
01:08because women and families should not feel alone.
01:12To improve psychological assistance,
01:16but above all to ensure that there is more information,
01:21thanks also to the campaign that we are doing,
01:24of informing basic doctors.
01:27The basic doctor is the first important node
01:32that approaches the patient,
01:36because when the patient has this terrifying diagnosis,
01:41he turns to his family doctor,
01:43and the family doctor must understand that he can turn to Campania.
01:49Thanks to us, thanks to the regional institutions,
01:54to the centres of excellence in Campania.
