About
Per dare risposte, abbiamo pensato di creare uno strumento d’aiuto per te che hai, hai avuto, o hai paura di avere un tumore. O a te che sei una delle tante persone che stanno vicino a questi malati che ti preoccupi per loro.
Abbiamo progettato YouTumor per aiutarvi a capire la malattia. Per capire ciò che sta succedendo o può succedere, perché le cose vanno bene o perché non vanno bene. Certe volte la malattia può essere davvero terribile, altre volte invece è meno pericolosa di quanto si possa pensare.
Lo spirito con cui abbiamo realizzato YouTumor è aiutare e sostenere chi sta attraversando una delle prove più difficili della vita. La conoscenza è la chiave per farcela. Benvenuti.
What
YouTumor is dedicated to those who have cancer, or are afraid they may have cancer. It is also dedicated to those who are close to these patients and are worried about them. YouTumor helps to understand in a simple and immediate way what is happening or may happen, why things are going well and why they are not going well.
Thanks to this platform, the patient is guided to immediately find the answers to his ‘burning questions’ by navigating through interactive flowcharts.
The latest news in oncology is warranted by the continuous update of the site.
