(Adnkronos) - "Il fatto di avere vicino un medico prima, ma anche uno psiconcologo che ti accompagna dal momento della diagnosi in poi è veramente parte delle cure”. Lo ha detto Rosanna D’Antona, presidente di Europa donna Italia, nel suo intervento alla conferenza stampa in cui Aiom, Associazione italiana di oncologia medica, ha presentato la campagna 'Tumore al seno e qualità di vita'.

00:00We have seen, also through research that we have done, but also with the daily life of our patients,
00:11we have 190 associations around Italy and all patients refer to these associations,
00:18there are really 53,000 every year, those who get sick.
00:22From the moment of diagnosis to the whole course of treatment, especially when the treatment can be heavy,
00:30because it may require significant therapeutic procedures,
00:36having a doctor with you first, but also a psychologist,
00:42who accompanies you from the moment of diagnosis onwards, is really part of the treatment.
00:48I still remember the message of Professor Veronesi, who was my surgeon,
00:55who told me that these are key words that accompanied me throughout the course of treatment,
01:01so I know very well what this means.
01:04We are also here because last year we published a catalogue with five requests
01:11that concern women with metastatic breast cancer.
01:15The first is to have specific paths, to have a psychologist, a good relationship with the doctor,
01:23nutrition and therefore the whole part of lifestyles,
01:28but not least to have an acceleration on new drugs,
01:34because in reality, when they arrive in Italy, they have already passed all the different steps at the European level,
01:41when they arrive here in Italy, women ask to have an acceleration on the market of these drugs.
01:49It saves lives.
