Ana Furtado Moderate Panel with unprecedented searches in TJCC





The presenator Ana Furtado will be one of the protagonists of the twelfth edition of the Todos Against Cancer (TJCC) congress, which takes place in San Paolo on September 16. Recovery from breast cancer and currently a consultant at the Institute to win cancer (IVOC), will modernize a panel dedicated to the advanced bladder carcinoma, one of the least discussed types in the country, but hit every year.

The debate marks the diffusion of unprecedented research conducted by Ivoc, in collaboration with the Ibcc Oncology Research Center, which has studied patients’ experiences with the disease. The study analyzed the way in which men and women face physical, emotional and social challenges during treatment, as well as underlining ways that can improve their quality of life.

According to data from the National Cancer Institute (Inca), it is estimated that, between 2023 and 2025, Brazil records 11,370 new annual cases of bladder cancer, 7,870 in men and 3,500 in women. Despite the numbers, the condition is still little discussed outside the medical clubs, strengthening the importance of bringing the theme to the public agenda.

“It is rewarding to be able to use my name and achieve to strengthen the importance of the quality of life of Brazilian cancer patients, helping to expand the public debate and arouse attention to an urgent need for information and awareness,” says Ana Fletado.

The panel will be opened by the oncologist Dr. Fernando Maluf and will have experts who will deepen the analysis of the results of the research. Among these are Dr. Dr. Felipe Cruz, the main researcher of the study; the oncologist Suelen Martins; And the clinical nutritionist Narjara Leite, a doctorate in Health Sciences.

The discussion tries to shed light on cancer which, although common in the urinary system, remains surrounded by ignorance and prejudice. For experts, understanding the difficulties faced by patients is a fundamental step in the proposal of improvements in the care and support offered.

With the mediation of a public figure who has lived closely the experience of cancer, the debate should overcome the scientific environment and reach society in general. The central message is clear: talking about bladder cancer is urgent and necessary to reduce stigmas, promote early diagnosis and guarantee the quality of life to those who face the disease.
