00:00In this issue, in the World Day for the Heart, Flashmob Rome, in the countryside, we free
00:16the circulation from cholesterol.
00:18SIRM presents R7 Radiology, the international forum of radiology.
00:24Prevention, innovation and sustainability at the center of the event for the 75 years
00:29of Abbott.
00:30The boys of the NAB of Milan present Light between the Fragments, a short film that opens
00:36a new narrative on hematological tumors.
00:39With Smart Talent School, people with muscle atrophy and spinal, find their voice.
00:45And again, Happy Aging, in Rome, the third edition of the General States of Active Aging.
00:52Presented the Position Paper, lung tumors, the master way is the early diagnosis.
00:58Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Blimatumobab, significantly increases survival in patients
01:05of new diagnosis.
01:06From Menarini, new therapeutic prospects for blood tumors.
01:10Lung cancer, still a big killer, in Lazio, 3,500 cases a year.
01:17To follow the fourth episode of the series, Tumor to the Breast and Back to Work, from the title
01:22the psychological path, from diagnosis to return to work.
01:32In the World Heart Day, which is celebrated on September 29, the Flashmob organized in
01:37Rome for the campaign, we free the circulation from cholesterol, has achieved great success
01:42attracting the attention and participation of hundreds of citizens.
01:46The initiative, promoted by Deici San Chietale, with the sponsorship of important health associations
01:51like Alice Lazio, has offered free screenings for the population, raising awareness
01:55on the importance of the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
01:59Professor Marcello Arca, Director of the Department of Internal Medicine and Diseases
02:03Metabolic of the Policlinic Umberto I of Rome, has emphasized the importance of prevention.
02:08All studies have clearly shown that high levels of cholesterol are the main
02:14cause of atherosclerosis and heart attack, and therefore it must be cured.
02:20Hypercholesterolemia must first be researched and then cured.
02:24I say research because the vast majority of people who have high
02:29levels of cholesterol, before the heart attack, are doing very well.
02:34They do not show symptoms, they are in excellent condition and therefore hardly think
02:39of laboratory clinical tests to find out if they have high levels of cholesterol.
02:45And so it is important that there is more awareness of regular tests,
02:52which can be asked of family doctors, or they can also be inserted, as they say,
02:57in opportunistic tests, which are dedicated to studying other conditions,
03:03but in the tests you can also insert measurements of cholesterol.
03:08Why is this? Because we have excellent tools to cure hypercholesterolemia,
03:14which can range from interventions on lifestyle, in particular on eating habits,
03:20but also interventions that take the use of drugs, which have been in use for many years,
03:28are safe, in the vast majority of cases, and are effective,
03:34as they are able to determine the reduction of the levels of cholesterol,
03:39which is suitable for their cardiovascular risk.
03:42And the big advantage is that the choice of drug can be drawn and cut out
03:48on the characteristics of each individual.
03:51So, to use a slogan, we can say that we have the right drugs for almost all patients.
03:57President Alice Lazio and Fabrizio Fennacchi have reiterated the crucial role of prevention
04:02in the fight against cardiovascular diseases.
04:05Prevention is the most important tool to prevent the disease from causing unsustainable damage,
04:14both for the community and for the families.
04:18Prevention is carried out through screening interventions,
04:22simple check-ups, carried out with professional doctors,
04:27who, even with the help of non-invasive instruments,
04:31can tell us what the state of our blood pressure is,
04:37of the sugar in our blood, or even the state of cholesterol and dyslipidemia.
04:43Another thing that helps in terms of prevention is the adoption of healthier lifestyle habits,
04:52which are more in line with the objectives of avoiding having a heart or cerebrovascular disease.
05:03So, exercise, eat properly,
05:08reduce or reduce the consumption of alcohol and smoke.
05:13In essence, prevention is getting informed, taking care of yourself
05:19and doing what is best for your health.
05:23With this flashmob, Dai Ichisankyo has shown that an innovative approach
05:27can raise awareness among the public about the risks of high cholesterol.
05:31So, on World Heart Day, we are delighted, Dai Ichisankyo,
05:36to be here to support this event.
05:39We decided to do something a little innovative, a little fun,
05:43using cholesterol balls to try to show people
05:46the importance and what happens in the body when you have high cholesterol.
05:50Cardiovascular diseases are still one of the main causes of death in Europe,
05:54and cardiovascular diseases, in particular hyperlipidemia, are silent killers.
06:00So, it is really important that patients are aware of this,
06:04that they get tested and follow the treatment.
06:06As a doctor, I understand how difficult it can be
06:10and how complicated it is to convince patients to do so.
06:13We have collaborated with associations, with patients' associations,
06:17and we are delighted to be here at this event.
06:20It is really important for us to see that we are not just an innovative pharmaceutical company
06:25at a global level, but we are a global health care company
06:27that contributes to the well-being of society.
06:29The event has shown how greater awareness and prevention
06:33can make a difference in the fight against cardiovascular diseases,
06:37the leading cause of mortality in Italy.
06:44The International Forum
06:47An international forum that, for the first time,
06:49involves the radiology companies of the G7 countries
06:52in order to promote prevention and improve care in a sustainable health.
06:57It is R7 Radiology,
06:59the meeting promoted by the Italian Society of Interventional Medical Radiology,
07:04which will take place in Venice from October 10 to 13,
07:07and which will be attended by the presidents of the radiology companies
07:11of the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, Canada, Italy
07:15and the European Society of Radiology.
07:18It is the first time that the seven radiological leaders of the world
07:22come together to discuss the great issues of the discipline,
07:27the great issues of the health of the future,
07:29the fragile patient, sustainability, artificial intelligence and precision medicine,
07:36and to move on to two very important and delicate issues,
07:40that is, the burnout of the operators
07:46and therefore the working conditions within a radiology
07:49that is increasingly the central part of the process
07:52and of the diagnostic and therapeutic work-up of the patients,
07:55and finally, the modalities and the problems
07:59that the new generation of radiologists,
08:01the transfer of knowledge,
08:03therefore of education to the new generation of radiologists,
08:07imposes on this society and this science
08:10and this really important novelty of the new technologies
08:16that are imposing on our discipline.
08:18The meeting will be for the experts a precious opportunity to exchange and compare
08:22on the main issues that concern the present and the future of the discipline.
08:26As always, the comparison can only bring mental openness, benefits.
08:31Why? Because we compare not only the technological advances,
08:36but also different ways of managing health,
08:41the organizational aspects, the health systems in comparison.
08:44Therefore, it is important to share also possible strategic choices
08:51to make the system and to bring what is good in every nation of the organization.
08:58This concerns the use of technologies and technological advances,
09:03the use and the future of radiology, telemedicine and artificial intelligence,
09:09which are the hottest issues today
09:12and will certainly be our next organizational issues.
09:22The Health to the Fullest meeting was held in Rome,
09:26next to the Patients for Prevention, Innovation and Sustainability,
09:30promoted by Abbott on the occasion of its 75th anniversary.
09:34The focus was on the challenges of the national health system.
09:38Among the innovations, there are those in interventional cardiology
09:41to deal with cardiovascular diseases
09:44that, with 217,000 deaths a year, represent the first cause of death in Italy.
09:49Cardiology in general and interventional cardiology in particular
09:53have made huge strides from all points of view, diagnostic and therapeutic.
09:58But in recent years, there has been a remarkable evolution
10:04in the field of interventional cardiology,
10:07as several methods that have been progressively introduced,
10:13such as advanced diagnostic methods, endovascular imaging
10:18or study of the physiology of coronary vessels,
10:21have become more and more common
10:24and have been tested in various clinical studies
10:27and have proven to be able to help us
10:31to make our interventions and procedures better and better,
10:35thus improving the outcome for patients.
10:39In Italy, the emergency related to diabetes remains high,
10:42which affects about 4 million citizens.
10:45A disease that is increasingly addressed thanks to technology.
10:48Of course, technology, in all its forms,
10:51is a great help to ensure that the person with diabetes
10:55lives a life as equal as possible to that of people without diabetes.
11:00Among these, we also include, for example,
11:02the most modern continuous monitoring systems of the IMCA,
11:07but we also include all those possibilities
11:10of the formation of telematic networks
11:13that connect the person with diabetes
11:16and the operators around it,
11:19so that the assistance is as integrated as possible.
11:23In the oncological field,
11:25situations such as involuntary weight loss
11:28and muscle tone, lack of appetite,
11:31and irregularity of the intestinal function should not be underestimated.
11:33Preventing weight loss and muscle loss,
11:37which means loss of function,
11:39loss of ability to perform normal daily functions,
11:42is possible,
11:44provided that the awareness of the problem
11:47increases within the medical class
11:50and the healthcare workers
11:52who take care of the oncological patient.
11:56The early interception of the mechanisms
12:00that interfere with normal diet
12:04and therefore determine weight loss is fundamental.
12:07Therefore, it is important that the oncological patient
12:10is taken care of from a metabolic and nutritional point of view
12:15from the beginning of his illness,
12:18that is, from the moment of diagnosis.
12:20For some people at that moment there will be nothing to do,
12:23for others, on the other hand, it may be necessary
12:26to start a nutritional therapy
12:29that can allow the patient
12:32to face the therapeutic path in an optimal way.
12:38Represent and give voice to people affected by hematological tumor
12:44so that public opinion can understand the fears and fears
12:48with which they have to live every day,
12:50but also trust in research and therapies.
12:53A message of hope, therefore,
12:55the one launched by light among the fragments,
12:58the journey of Mira, from the discovery of the disease
13:01to hope with CAR-T,
13:03a 2D animated short film
13:05produced by the students of the Triennium in Cinema and Animation of NABA,
13:09New Academy of Fine Arts of Milan
13:12and promoted by Gilead Sciences
13:14with the sponsorship of AILE,
13:16the Italian Association Against Leukemia, Lymphoma and Myeloma
13:20and the Lampad of Aladino ETS.
13:22Innovation changes the history of diseases in blood tumors
13:25and today we finally talk about concrete hopes.
13:28Innovation is describing how these diseases are changing.
13:31Today we are here to talk about a short film
13:34that had the great initial bet
13:37to describe in a simple way
13:39a very complex thing.
13:41We are not talking about drugs, we are talking about a process,
13:43CAR-T is a process
13:45and the great bet was to make them understandable to anyone.
13:49The guys at NABA were splendid,
13:51they managed to make a fantastic product
13:53and from tomorrow we will obviously distribute it to everyone
13:56because in the end the things that are known are less scary
13:59and the patients need it.
14:01The short film tells the possibility of a cure
14:04through a new innovative therapy,
14:06CAR-T,
14:07which represents the moment when hope is rekindled.
14:11It is more than a hope for some of them,
14:13it is a reality today,
14:15the possibility of being healed
14:17despite the refractoryness to a standard therapy.
14:21So it is a journey,
14:23certainly there is a complex therapy,
14:25it is a long process,
14:27but it can really, in some indications,
14:29such as in the infamous B-cell diffuse,
14:32which does not respond to a line of traditional chemotherapy,
14:36restore in 50% of cases a cure.
14:39Many patients can access this innovative therapy.
14:43There could be more than what we can really cure today,
14:49but the important thing is to identify them in time
14:54so that they can know what this therapeutic alternative is
15:00and face it in the best way.
15:02Among the objectives of the short film,
15:04also the sensitization.
15:06Both at the community level,
15:08to be close to the patients in their path of healing
15:13and hopefully healing,
15:15but the goal of sensitization
15:19is also to make patients aware
15:22of the scenarios and the possibilities of treatment,
15:26therefore also increase their possibilities of healing.
15:34People with SMA can now find and make their voice heard
15:38with SMA Talent School,
15:40an online training project of nine months,
15:43to discover and enhance vocal skills
15:46for those who live with SMA, spinal muscular atrophy.
15:49Didactic partner of the initiative,
15:51the School of High Professional Training,
15:53Academy 09 of Milan.
15:55The project is developed by the NEMO Clinical Centers,
15:58the National Network of Experts Centers for Cure and Research
16:01on Neuromuscular Pathologies
16:03and by the SMA family,
16:04the National Association of References for this Pathology,
16:07together with Roche.
16:08We were able to create this project,
16:10which inserts professionalism
16:13on those who are objectives of desire
16:17of people, from singing to acting,
16:20and so we have further expanded
16:22this type of relationship capacity,
16:25our clinics will be available,
16:28I think we have broken the fourth wall,
16:31as they say, in the theater
16:33and we have come to tell ourselves even more outside
16:37and to be able to tell people with SMA,
16:40you decide who you are, what you want to do
16:43and do it using your voice strongly.
16:47Through SMA Talent School,
16:49the voice of people has no boundaries
16:51and becomes a resonance box for a culture of inclusion
16:54centered on the value of the person.
16:56In this project, people with SMA have the opportunity
16:59to implement their light,
17:03to work on their ability to communicate,
17:06but also to communicate to the world
17:08that having SMA does not just mean
17:10being on a wheelchair,
17:12but it also means that through wheelchairs
17:14we can move and we can go into the world
17:17with people to tell through our voice,
17:20our life, what we are and what we do.
17:23The academic path involves 67 participants
17:27between the ages of 9 and 63,
17:30a project that wants to raise awareness
17:32on spinal muscular atrophy,
17:34which in Italy affects every year
17:36a child over 10,000
17:37and leads to the progressive loss
17:39of motor skills.
17:41This project was born from a collaboration
17:43with the SMA family and the Cinemo clinical centers.
17:46We could not not embrace it,
17:48believing deeply in the possibility
17:51of creating together a more inclusive society.
17:59Aging in health and prevention through vaccination
18:02are the themes at the longevity center
18:04Conquista, Risk and Opportunity,
18:06the third edition of the General States
18:08of Active Aging,
18:09organized in Rome by Happy Aging,
18:11the Italian Alliance for Active Aging.
18:13The Italian population is in fact
18:15ever longer, a health achievement
18:17of a health system that has been able
18:19to guarantee prevention and care
18:21and to which risk and opportunity are linked.
18:24To endanger the health of the frail
18:26and the elderly, as well as children,
18:28and preventable thanks to the vaccine,
18:30are respiratory infections
18:32such as influenza, covid, pneumococcus.
18:35At the moment, the National Vaccine Prevention Plan
18:382023-2025 is in force.
18:41The offers are the anti-influenza vaccine,
18:45the anti-pneumococcus vaccine,
18:47the anti-zoster vaccine and the covid call.
18:50Of course, these vaccines for the interested categories
18:54which are for the most part the elderly
18:57and the frail subjects.
18:59Particularly risky for the elderly
19:01is the syncytial respiratory virus.
19:03It is a very dangerous virus
19:05because it gives bronchiolitis and bronchitis,
19:07very important respiratory pathologies
19:09which often lead to resuscitation
19:12or even many deaths
19:14linked to this pathology.
19:16It is a virus that we encounter now,
19:18after covid,
19:20when there are lung diseases,
19:22now the diagnosis is done
19:24with instruments that are now
19:26certainly increased,
19:28so we can count how many diseases
19:30there are from the syncytial respiratory virus
19:32and we know that we can avoid it
19:34with vaccination.
19:36But the vaccine against the syncytial respiratory virus,
19:38being recently approved,
19:40has not yet been included
19:42in the National Vaccine Prevention Plan.
19:44This worries us because the winter season
19:46is about to arrive and therefore
19:48the virus does not meet the regional laws
19:50or the implementation of the plan.
19:52We could have the fact that in some regions
19:54the elderly could be protected,
19:56in some other regions not.
19:57The regions that can economically support
19:59the offer of this new prevention tool
20:01to their own population
20:03are being activated,
20:05but the risk of disparities in access
20:07to prevention and health
20:09worries experts.
20:11The hope is that there is
20:13an equity of supply of vaccinations,
20:15because we risk
20:17to have,
20:19and in part it is already happening,
20:21the regions that are more
20:23sensitive to the issue,
20:25with more technical resources,
20:27with perhaps more economic resources,
20:29that are going to make innovative
20:31proposals and other regions
20:33that are left behind.
20:35The 2017 calendar
20:37had that great merit
20:39of bringing back
20:41the equity of supply,
20:43that is, the elderly,
20:45as children, as teenagers,
20:47in all Italian regions,
20:49must have the same
20:51possibilities of preventing diseases.
20:53In 2023,
20:55in Italy,
20:57about 44,000 new
20:59lung cancer diagnoses
21:01were registered,
21:03which is attested
21:05among the most frequent neoplasies,
21:07particularly among men.
21:09The deaths in 2022
21:11were 35,700,
21:13numbers that tell what
21:15in our country has now become
21:17a significant health
21:19and social challenge.
21:21In Rome, at the press room
21:23of the House of Representatives,
21:25at the institutional event
21:27of the presentation of the position paper
21:29Lung Tumors, the Master Way
21:31and the Early Diagnosis,
21:33made with the non-conditioned contribution
21:35of Johnson & Johnson MedTech,
21:37a document that underlines
21:39the importance and need
21:41to promote screening programs
21:43for lung tumors
21:45intended for the target population.
21:47The goal is to increase
21:49the national health system
21:51dedicated to all screenings
21:53and in particular
21:55to promote the censorship
21:57of the population at risk,
21:59therefore smokers and genetically predisposed,
22:01because
22:03even familiarity
22:05today represents
22:07one of the multifactorial stimuli
22:09that can affect
22:11lung neoplasia.
22:1345% of patients who
22:15have lung tumor diagnosis
22:17already have a locally advanced disease.
22:19We must identify patients
22:21who are currently healthy
22:23but who have high risk factors
22:25and on those our efforts converge.
22:27And do what?
22:29The thing to do is to do
22:31a high-resolution thoracic attack
22:33and low dosage,
22:35so little radiation for the patient
22:37but many results in image quality
22:39and therefore with these images we can
22:41above all find lungs in the initial phase
22:43and also find associated pathologies,
22:45lung pathologies,
22:47so it is an important work.
22:49The master way is therefore
22:51the early diagnosis,
22:53also for the benefit of the national health system.
22:55It is absolutely necessary
22:57to identify people
22:59so-called healthy subjects
23:01at risk.
23:03Who are the healthy subjects at risk?
23:05They are smokers
23:07who reach the age of 50
23:09and it is as if they were crossing a door
23:11and this door is
23:13the subject at risk.
23:15At the risk of what?
23:17Of developing a primitive neoplasia
23:19of the lung,
23:21of having very serious damage
23:23to the coronary arteries,
23:25of having serious damage
23:27at the parenchymal level
23:29and therefore become bronchitis,
23:31chronic and emphysema.
23:33So with these screening programs
23:35it is possible to identify
23:37these three pathologies
23:39that are very important
23:41for the public species.
23:47There are about 450 Italian adults
23:49affected by acute lymphoblastic leukemia every year,
23:51a tumor of rapid blood progression
23:53with high mortality.
23:55Research and development of new therapies
23:57are making great strides,
23:59as shown by the data of the clinical study
24:01of phases 3 and 19-10,
24:03recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
24:05The study shows
24:07that in patients affected by acute lymphoblastic leukemia
24:09with negative philadelphia
24:11and no trace of detectable disease,
24:13after the initial treatment,
24:15the addition of the B-specific antibody
24:17Blinatumumab to chemotherapy
24:19significantly increases
24:21survival.
24:23The study that was recently published
24:25in the New England Journal of Medicine
24:27is an extremely important study
24:29because it shows in a randomized study
24:31therefore with a group of comparison
24:33that the addition of the
24:35B-specific monoclonal antibody
24:37Blinatumumab, which is a form of immunotherapy
24:39is also active
24:41in patients who are
24:43with acute lymphoblastic leukemia,
24:45negative philadelphia of the B-line,
24:47which are negative
24:49also for the minimal disease.
24:51So it is an extremely important step forward
24:53for the treatment of these patients
24:55in the front line.
24:57The scope of the change
24:59immunotherapy has given way to
25:01is allowing the clinic to look at a new goal
25:03in the adult population, that of healing.
25:05The goal today
25:07is healing
25:09and it is formidable
25:11to be able to affirm this
25:13also in adult patients.
25:15Today we employ
25:17in research protocols
25:19patients up to 65 years
25:21and beyond, with the goal
25:23to bring them to healing.
25:25Blinatumumab is the first immunotherapy
25:27developed with the BITE platform
25:29B-specific T-cell Engager
25:31by Amgen.
25:33This platform has had
25:35an extremely innovative approach
25:37based on the
25:39innovative connection between
25:41biology and technology.
25:43It started, of course,
25:45from acute lymphoblastic
25:47leukemia
25:49in the recidivism phase,
25:51and then advanced
25:53towards earlier stages
25:55of the disease, going through
25:57the so-called minimal residue disease,
25:59that is, leukemic clones present
26:01a minimal residue, but which inevitably
26:03lead to clinical and
26:05hematological relapse
26:07of the patient, up to
26:09first-line development.
26:15The Italian Pharmaceutical Agency
26:17has approved the reimbursement of
26:19Selinexor for the treatment of
26:21adult patients with multiple myeloma
26:23subjected to at least a previous therapy.
26:25The selective oral inhibitor
26:27of the XPO1 protein is therefore
26:29reimbursable in two ways.
26:31The first is for
26:33the use of
26:35Selinexor
26:37in association
26:39with desamethasone,
26:41which is a cortisone,
26:43as a fifth-line
26:45therapy
26:47in patients who have
26:49previously been exposed
26:51to two
26:53proteasome inhibitors,
26:55to two immunomodulators
26:57and to a monoclonal
26:59anti-CD38 antibody.
27:01The other indication,
27:03instead, is in association
27:05with an inhibitor
27:07of the proteasome.
27:09It is called Bortezomib.
27:11Selinexor and Bortezomib
27:13in association
27:15with desamethasone
27:17have received approval
27:19on the basis of the results
27:21of a Phase III study,
27:23the Boston study.
27:25The new therapeutic option,
27:27being orally administered,
27:29also contributes to improving
27:31the patient's quality of life.
27:33It is a therapy that allows
27:35the person not to have to be in the hospital
27:37in order to be able to receive it
27:39in administration.
27:41This also frees the caregiver
27:43from the need to accompany
27:45the person in the hospital.
27:47An important event in the
27:49oncohematological field
27:51is also that of Tagraxofusp,
27:53a plasmocytoid endotoxin
27:55of plastics,
27:57whose effectiveness has been
27:59evidenced by a study conducted
28:01on 47 patients,
28:0332 of which were not
28:05previously treated.
28:07The results have been
28:09extremely comforting
28:11because the untreated patients
28:13have had a complete response
28:15of 72%,
28:17putting together complete
28:19and partial responses,
28:21the overall response rate
28:23we are talking about numbers of 90%.
28:25As for the patients
28:27who had already seen
28:29previous treatments,
28:3167% got an answer.
28:33Results that represent
28:35a reason for pride for Menarini,
28:37who for a few years has chosen
28:39to engage in research and development
28:41of new therapeutic solutions
28:43for blood tumors.
28:45As the Menarini Group,
28:47we are proud to have undertaken
28:49a commitment to research
28:51and development of drugs
28:53in the oncohematological field.
28:55The next steps will certainly
28:57go in this direction,
28:59trying to bring as much innovation
29:01as possible for patients affected
29:03by blood tumors.
29:07Every year in Lazio
29:09more than 3,500 new cases
29:11of lung tumors are recorded,
29:13of which almost 1,800 have a
29:15small cell form, oncogene addicted,
29:17i.e. with the forms of the disease
29:19linked to a specific genetic mutation,
29:21for some of which there are
29:23targeted oral pharmacies.
29:25If research today allows to prolong
29:27the survival of patients,
29:29clinics and institutions
29:31are working to simplify
29:33the treatment paths
29:35and allow those who need
29:37to take the treatments at home,
29:39especially in the case
29:41of oral therapies.
29:43The innovation value
29:45of the new therapies
29:47seems to be increasing,
29:49in particular for those
29:51suffering from a specific type
29:53of this neoplasia.
29:55The path in the area
29:57of lung tumors
29:59is very interesting
30:01because it allows
30:03the development
30:05of new therapies
30:07that can be used
30:09for the treatment
30:11of cancer patients.
30:13Now in the area of lung tumors
30:15we have several news,
30:17among the most important
30:19and certainly the possibility
30:21today to have available
30:23also in our country a drug
30:25aimed at a specific population
30:27of patients, which are
30:29patients with the mutation
30:31of the Kapparats gene,
30:33the drug Sotorazib,
30:35an oral drug that has
30:37shown in a clinical study
30:39to be superior to chemotherapy
30:41of treatment for this
30:43group of patients.
30:45But how is this therapy supplied
30:47and how is it dispensed?
30:49The drug is a drug that is given
30:51by oral way, the potential advantage
30:53also of this drug is the possibility
30:55that it is dispensed
30:57also by territorial asylums
30:59and this allows a more easy
31:01access to the cures
31:03by patients,
31:05both those who need to start
31:07the treatment and those patients
31:09who need to continue their therapy.
31:39The psychologist therefore becomes
31:41more and more central.
31:43The woman is disoriented because
31:45from the phase of diagnosis to the phase
31:47of subordination to treatments,
31:49often there is not even time
31:51to elaborate what is happening,
31:53so the psychologist has the role
31:55to offer a space
31:57of listening, a welcoming space
31:59that can guide her
32:01to listen to those
32:03that are new needs,
32:05to listen to those that are
32:07new discomfort, suffering,
32:09fatigue, fear.
32:11On the one hand there is
32:13the need to understand how,
32:15for example, to experience the change
32:17of your own body, of your own
32:19body image, but also
32:21how to experience, for example,
32:23the concerns of people
32:25who are around the woman,
32:27therefore more intimate relationships
32:29with children, partners, family.
32:31Many researches recognize
32:33how the role of the caregiver,
32:35the family member, is essential
32:37in favoring a good
32:39adaptation
32:41to the person's disease.
32:43Breast cancer is one of the most
32:45widespread tumors among women
32:47around the world.
32:49The diagnosis of metastatic tumor
32:51is associated with the anxiety
32:53of incurability.
32:55In fact, the advancement of
32:57treatments tells us that
32:59even the metastatic breast tumor
33:01is curable because the life expectancy
33:03is increased and therefore
33:05it is associated with a state
33:07of chronicizable disease.
33:09However, women,
33:11despite these encouraging
33:13facts,
33:15find themselves facing
33:17a very uncertain look
33:19towards the future, very
33:21frightened, very precarious,
33:23and therefore the psychological impact
33:25is very strong.
33:27Psychology, psychological interventions
33:29of a supportive,
33:31expressive nature,
33:33but also of a
33:35group psychological nature,
33:37can become those interventions
33:39that support the woman to take
33:41care of the
33:43most emotional part
33:45that has an impact
33:47on the disease.
33:49A woman who takes care
33:51of her life, who does not identify
33:53with the disease, but who integrates
33:55different aspects, different phases
33:57of her life, different areas
33:59of her life, is a woman
34:01who improves her immune responses
34:03and consequently
34:05also improves the responses
34:07of the body and treatments
34:09and consequently also the effects of the tumor.
34:11So, in this correlated and holistic
34:13perspective, taking care of
34:15psychological health is
34:17an essential factor.
34:19The new therapies available for
34:21the treatment of the metastatic breast tumor
34:23have expanded the life expectancy
34:25and therefore opened the possibility
34:27of returning to work for patients.
34:29Certainly, going back to work
34:31is a very delicate moment.
34:33The first step is certainly
34:35self-awareness
34:37and also the awareness of one's limits,
34:39as well as the legitimation
34:41of one's limits, because
34:43being subjected to
34:45life-saving treatments
34:47means having
34:49exhausted one's body,
34:51but also one's cognitive processes,
34:53as well as
34:55having exhausted
34:57the whole emotional and
34:59psychological sphere.
35:01So, recognizing fatigue,
35:03tiredness, recognizing
35:05the difficulty in concentrating,
35:07recognizing the difficulty
35:09in adapting to a working environment
35:11becomes
35:13also a care
35:15of a new adaptation process.
35:17To deepen the topic,
35:19the site is available
35:21and Tempo di Vita, a project
35:23promoted by Novartis,
35:25to support all women
35:27who face an advanced breast tumor.
