OncoSur Foundation, in collaboration with Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre, 12 Educa, AECC, AEACaP , Bristol Myers Squibb, Lilly, Pfizer, Regeneron and Roche , has created this training activity for you.

A school of three workshops, each lasting an hour and a half, designed to provide professional support to patients, family members, and anyone interested in learning more about relevant aspects of thoracic tumors, as well as how to cope with the disease and the well-being of those affected.

This activity was created with the main objective of providing the population with verified information about thoracic tumors, in addition to:

• Address the information and knowledge needs of patients and caregivers regarding health and disease management.
• To provide interested individuals with resources to better understand this tumor and improve the quality of life of affected patients.
• To enhance the active role of individuals in their health care and self-management of their illness, as well as to improve the habits and lifestyles of patients and caregivers.
• Promote the exchange of knowledge and experiences in a relaxed environment with experienced professionals.
