Milan, October 2, 2015 - Free information desks on nutrition for prevention or as part of a therapy. With this initiative, IEO participates in the “Pink October” campaign promoted by Onda, (National Observatory on Women's Health). A month entirely dedicated to awareness and prevention of most common female diseases. The campaign has received the support of the major scientific societies and associations that deal with women's health. It also involves hospitals that have joined the network "Pink stickers", the well-known brand of quality attributed to the centers for women.
The European Institute of Oncology has a unique experience in Italy and Europe in the protection of women’s health in oncology. In particular, it is one of the first hospitals in the world for breast cancer and also an international reference for innovative treatments of female cancers. The prevention in all its variations has always been a key part of the IEO activities for women.
Hence the creation of SmartFood, a research and science communication program based on the protective factors of diet for a new nutritional prevention approach. The project is coordinated by Lucilla Titta, a researcher in nutrition science, that along with other Smartfood experts, will animate the IEO Pink October. IEO will active a help desk dedicated to the Clinical Nutrition, coordinated by dietitian Annarita Sabbatini, Head of the IEO Nutrition and Dietetics Clinical service.
