DOP Panel Discussion
From Fear to Hope – Our Women’s Cancer Panel Discussion

A discussion about women’s cancer? Honestly, at first, the topic made many of us feel uneasy. But our event changed the perspective for all of us! Instead of fear: hope. Instead of helplessness: knowledge.
 
And here, what we learned from our esteemed international panel:
💡 Dr. Raptis, Director of Oncology, Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, shared insights on cutting-edge personalized cancer treatments that significantly improve patients' quality of life.
💡 Caroline Justich, Chairwoman of the Patient Advisory Group of  ESR and a former Stage 4 cancer patient, took us on her inspiring journey—from acceptance to healing—a story that truly gives hope. She also pointed out, how important it is to be able to navigate our health system!
💡 Univ. Prof. Dr. Elmar Joura, lead developer of the HPV vaccine, emphasized its importance in protecting both women and men from various cancers—highly recommended for all!
💡 Univ.Prof. Dr. Alexandra Resch, a renowned specialist in oncology, with a strong focus on innovative cancer treatments, highlighted that e.g. mammography is no longer the only tool in breast-cancer prevention and diagnosis—exciting innovations are shaping the future!

It was an incredibly enriching experience, not just for our sisterhood but all our guests! A heartfelt thank you to all our panelists, our President, Althea-Maria Papoulias, for organizing this prestigious panel, and to our sister Lydia Goutas for her professional moderation.
