(Adnkronos) - “Il 70% dei pazienti con patologie oncologiche ematologiche sono vivi a dieci anni, una buona parte di questi sono guariti. L’assenza di strategie di prevenzione rende la diagnosi tardiva, ma negli ultimi anni stiamo ottenendo risultati interessanti che stanno rivoluzionando l’approccio terapeutico nei pazienti ottenendo delle prospettive di guarigione e di lunga sopravvivenza sempre migliori”. Così Armando Santoro, direttore del Cancer Center di Humanitas Rozzano, intervenendo in occasione della presentazione della campagna di Lilly Italy Hub “#SavingTime. Più tempo grazie alla ricerca sui tumori del sangue”

00:00The blood tumors represent a total of 20% of all oncological pathologies, but they are
00:12generally associated with a better prognosis than many of the solid tumors, in fact 70%
00:18of patients affected by oncological and pathological diseases are alive at the age of 10 and a good
00:23part of them are cured.
00:25Unfortunately, there are no prevention or screening factors for hematological and hemato-oncological diseases,
00:32so diagnosis in many cases cannot be an early diagnosis, but it is a rather late diagnosis.
00:37However, we have certainly interesting results, especially in recent years,
00:43they are evolving, they are better revolutionizing the approach of the patients, obtaining
00:49better prospects for healing and long-term survival.
00:53The patients of these tumors are almost extremely varied people, because we have various types
00:59of hematological diseases, these affect younger age groups, for example lymphomas,
01:04multiple myelomas, other diseases, on the other hand, affect older people,
01:09chronic lymphatic leukemia, follicular lymphoma, so an extremely heterogeneous population.
01:15Campaigns are absolutely important, one such as this is to inform, communicate,
01:22put a certain level of alarm, especially in the sense of pushing the problem to a place
01:27and not delaying the fact of contacting a doctor, a specialist, a hematologist,
01:33where there are initial symptoms that can cause some pathologies to break out.
01:37The campaign is a good campaign, it obviously wants to involve people in a way that I could
01:45also define in Lega, this type of concerts in the morning, the fact of earning life,
01:51which means that we also try to obtain advantages in the hematological field, such as being able
01:58to offer an excellent quality of life and even more prolonged than before.
02:04It is a campaign that I feel I can totally sponsor.
