World Cancer Day 2024

World Cancer Day 2024

Today marks World Cancer Day 2024, a day when the world unites to address critical cancer issues.

In our ongoing project, we're tackling a pressing concern for the 2.7 million cancer patients in Europe with positive prognoses. These individuals face a significant risk of secondary tumors, particularly in the spine, impacting their quality of life.

The METASTRA initiative is poised to revolutionise patient stratification and management, potentially reducing uncertain diagnoses from 60% to 20%. This not only enhances patient care but also holds the promise of significant cost savings – a positive step forward in our collective fight against cancer.
