’Cancer in Women Forum’ starts on 26 September

Breast, ovarian and uterine cancers account for about 40% of cancer diagnoses in women every year. A series of webinars run by MedUni Vienna and University Hospital Vienna, starting on the 26th of September 2022, will focus on prevention, early detection and treatment of these forms of cancer and other questions that women have about a cancer diagnosis. The "Cancer in Women Forum" was initiated by Matthias Preusser and Rupert Bartsch from the Division of Oncology within the Department of Medicine I and is the continuation of last year's successful "Breast Cancer Forum". The free webinar series is designed to raise awareness about the early detection and/or prevention of specifically female cancers. It is being funded by the women's section of the Ministry for Women, Family, Integration and Media headed by Federal Minister Susanne Raab, who will attend the launch event. The theme of the launch event, which will start at 5 p.m. on the 26th of September and will include contributions from Women's Minister Susanne Raab, cancer specialists and cancer patients, will be developments in cancer screening and advances in modern cancer treatment. Like all other webinars of the "Cancer in Women Forum", the event can be watched live on the internet or viewed online for up to one year afterwards.
